1 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown) king of Babylon (confusion by mixing) marched against Jerusalem (city of peace) with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built \He encamped outside it and they built/ a siege wall all around it. 2 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s (YHWH is righteous) eleventh year. 3 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food. 4 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans (the Babylonians) had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah (the Jordan Valley), 2 Kings 25:1-4, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
