2 Kings 25:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,

³ The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁴ And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king's garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about,) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
