Jeremías 52:7

Listen to Jeremías 52:7
7 Y fué entrada la ciudad, y todos los hombres de guerra huyeron, y saliéronse de la ciudad de noche por el camino de postigo de entre los dos muros, que había cerca del jardín del rey, y fuéronse por el camino del desierto, estando aún los Caldeos junto á la ciudad alrededor.

Jeremías 52:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:7

Then the city was broken up
Either its gates were broke open, some one or other of them; or a breach was made in the walls of it, through which the Chaldean army entered: and all the men of war fled;
the soldiers, with their officers, not being able to stand before the army of the king of Babylon: and went forth out of the city by night;
at which time, very probably, the attack was made, and the gates of the city forced open, or the walls broke down; Josephus F16 says it was taken in the middle of the night: by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [was] by the king's
garden; (See Gill on Jeremiah 39:4); now the Chaldeans [were] by the city round about;
as part of their army entered into it, the other part surrounded it; or, however, were placed at the gates and avenues all around, that none might escape: and they went by the way of the plain;
that is, the men of war or soldiers that fled, together with King Zedekiah, his family and princes; see ( Jeremiah 39:4 ) .

Jeremías 52:7 In-Context

5 Y estuvo cercada la ciudad hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedechîas.
6 En el mes cuarto, á los nueve del mes, prevaleció el hambre en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para el pueblo de la tierra.
7 Y fué entrada la ciudad, y todos los hombres de guerra huyeron, y saliéronse de la ciudad de noche por el camino de postigo de entre los dos muros, que había cerca del jardín del rey, y fuéronse por el camino del desierto, estando aún los Caldeos junto á la ciudad alrededor.
8 Y el ejército de los Caldeos siguió al rey, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y esparcióse de él todo su ejército.
9 Entonces prendieron al rey, e hiciéronle venir al rey de Babilonia, á Ribla en tierra de Hamath, donde pronunció contra él sentencia.
