2So the cityH5892 was under siegeH4692 untilH5704 the eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 3On the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 1the famineH7458 was so severeH2388 in the cityH5892 that there was noH3808 foodH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 42Then the cityH5892 was brokenH1234 into, and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 that were besideH5921 3the king’sH4428 gardenH1588, though the ChaldeansH3778 were allH5439 aroundH5439 the cityH5892. And 4they wentH1980 by wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 5But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the kingH4428 and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 6Then 5they capturedH8610 the kingH4428 and 6broughtH5927 him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 7RiblahH7247, and he 8passedH1696 sentenceH4941 on him. 7And 9they slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, then 10putH5786 outH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869 and boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 shacklesH5178, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894.

811Now on the seventhH7651 day of the 12fifthH2549 monthH2320, whichH1931 was the nineteenthH8672H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardsH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 9And 13he burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, 14the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; even everyH3605 greatH1419 houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784. 10So allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 were with the captainH7227 of the bodyguardsH2876 15toreH5422 downH5422 the wallsH2346 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389.
