2 Kings 25:4 In-Context

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.

6 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Bavel to Rivlah; and they gave judgment on him.
