Jeremias 52:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:4

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign
Of Zedekiah's reign: in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month;
the month Tebet, which answers to part of December and part of January; hence the fast of the tenth month, on account of the siege of Jerusalem, ( Zechariah 8:19 ) ; [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his army,
against Jerusalem;
from whence it appears that he came in person with his army at first to Jerusalem; but, during the siege, or some part of it, retired to Riblah; perhaps upon the news of the king of Egypt's coming to the assistance of the Jews: and pitched against it;
or encamped against it: and built forts against it round about;
wooden towers, as Jarchi and Kimchi explain it; from whence they could shoot their arrows and cast their stones.

4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
5 So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
6 on the ninth day of the month, and the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
