"But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him." — 2 Kings 25:5 (ASV)

Jeremiah 38:23 and Ezekiel 12:13 had prophesied this capture; and the latter had also prophesied the dispersion of the troops (2 Kings 25:14).
