Jeremiah 52:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ The city was under siege until the eleventh year of the reign of^[a] King Zedekiah. ⁶ By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine became so severe that there was no food for the people of the land. ⁷ The wall of^[b] the city was broken through, and all the soldiers fled, leaving the city at night through the gate between the two walls next to the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were all around the city. They went in the direction of the Arabah.^[c]
