Chapter 25
1 It was during the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and all his army came up against Jerusalem. He camped and made siege-works all around it.[a] 2 The city was under siege until the eleventh year of the reign of King Zedekiah. 3 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe that there was no food left for the people of the land.
4 There was a breach in the city wall, and all of the warriors fled at night by way of the gate between the two walls by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans surrounded the city. They went toward the Arabah.
