He put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters: See 39.7.

And put him in prison till the day of his death: This information is not included in chapter 39. Good News Translation makes this into a separate sentence and identifies Zedekiah by name in order to avoid the possible ambiguity of the pronouns in the Revised Standard Version rendering of this verse: “Zedekiah remained in prison in Babylon until the day he died.”
