And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about:) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.
