2 Kings 25:1-4

Fall and Captivity of Judah

a And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month b Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. c And they built siegeworks all around it. So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. On the ninth day of the fourth month d the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by e the king’s garden, and f the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the g Arabah.
