2 Kings 25:2-5

Living Bible

² The siege continued into the eleventh year of his reign.

³ The last food in the city was eaten on July 24, ^4-5 and that night the king and his troops made a hole in the inner wall and fled out toward the Arabah through a gate that lay between the double walls near the king’s garden. The Babylonian troops surrounding the city took out after him and captured him in the plains of Jericho, and all his men scattered.
