Jeremiah 52:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon. He marched out against Jerusalem. All his armies went with him. It was in the ninth year of the rule of Zedekiah. It was on the tenth day of the tenth month. The armies set up camp outside the city. They set up ladders and built ramps and towers all around it. ⁵ It was surrounded until the 11th year of King Zedekiah’s rule.

⁶ By the ninth day of the fourth month, there wasn’t any food left in the city. So the people didn’t have anything to eat.
