Quick answer
Nebuzaradan brought these captured leaders to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah. The officials were delivered to the Babylonian king for sentencing.
Overview
Riblah again serves as the place of judgment, where Zedekiah too had been condemned. The transfer of these men to the king sets up their execution in the next verse. The relentless movement of the narrative toward judgment underscores the certainty of God's pronounced word, fulfilled to the letter through Jeremiah.
