Jeremiah 52:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food for the people of the land.

⁷ And the city was broken up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king's garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about,) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.

⁸ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.
