2 Kings 25:7 (ESV)

7 They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains and took him to Babylon.

According to Jeremiah 52:10, Zedekiah’s councillors suffered the same fate as his sons. When we read Jeremiah, we get the impression that Zedekiah did not follow his own fixed path; he let himself be influenced by his advisors. There is a good chance that they advised him to rebel against Nebuchadnezzar and make a treaty with Pharaoh Hophra (Jeremiah 44:30).

It was also the councillors who wanted to kill Jeremiah (Jeremiah 38:4, Jeremiah 38:25). The murdering of his sons and his advisors were the last events Zedekiah saw. After this, he was brought to Babylon and imprisoned there. Till the day of his death, says Jeremiah 52:11 (see also Ezekiel 12:13).
