*
And in the ninth year of his reign ,
in the tenth month ,
on the tenth day of the month ,
Nebuchadnez '
zar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem ,
and laid siege to it ;
and they built siegeworks against it round about .
*
So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedeki '
ah .
*
On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land .
*
Then a breach was made in the city ;
the king with all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls ,
by the king '
s garden ,
though the Chalde '
ans were around the city .
And they went in the direction of the Arabah .
*
But the army of the Chalde '
ans pursued the king ,
and overtook him in the plains of Jericho ;
and all his army was scattered from him .
*
Then they captured the king ,
and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah ,
who passed sentence upon him .
*
They slew the sons of Zedeki '
ah before his eyes ,
and put out the eyes of Zedeki '
ah ,
and bound him in fetters ,
and took him to Babylon .
*
In the fifth month ,
on the seventh day of the month--which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnez '
zar ,
king of Babylon--Nebu '
zarad '
an ,
the captain of the bodyguard ,
a servant of the king of Babylon ,
came to Jerusalem .
*
And he burned the house of the LORD ,
and the king '
s house and all the houses of Jerusalem ;
every great house he burned down .
