1 And it will be in the ninth year to his reigning, in the tenth month, in the tenth to the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel came, he, and all his strength, against Jerusalem, and he will encamp against it, and build a watch tower against her round about. 2 And the city will go into siege till the eleventh year to king Zedekiah. 3 In the ninth to the month and the famine will be strong in the city, and there was not bread for the people of the land. 4 And the city will be broken up, and all the men of war by night the way of the gate between the walls by the king's garden: (and the Chaldees against the city round about;) and he will go the way of the sterile region. 5 And the strength of the Chaldees will pursue after the king, and they will overtake him in the sterile region of Jericho: and all his strength was scattered from him. 6 And they will seize the king and bring him up to the king of Babel to Riblah; and they will speak judgment with him. 7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he will bind him with fetters, and bring him to Babel. 8 And in the fifth month, in the seventh to the month, (this year the nineteenth year to king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel,) came Nebuzaradan, chief of the cooks, servant of the king of Babel, to Jerusalem. 9 And he will burn the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt in fire. 2 Kings 25:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation.
