2 Kings 25:1 In-Context

1 It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nevukhadnetztzar king of Bavel came, he and all his army, against Yerushalayim, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

2 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Tzidkiyahu.

3 On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

4 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, which was by the king's garden (now the Kasdim were against the city round about); and [the king] went by the way of the `Aravah.

5 But the army of the Kasdim pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Yericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
