2 Kings 25:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² The city was besieged [nearly two years] until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

³ On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was complete in the city; there was no food for the people of the land.

⁴ Then the city was broken through; the king and all the warriors fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls by the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were round about the city. [The king] went by the way toward the Arabah (the plain).
