Jeremiah 52:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. ⁶ On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city reached a point that no food remained for the people. ⁷ The enemy entered the city, and all the soldiers fled by night along the gate between the two walls by the royal gardens. So the Babylonians surrounded the city while the soldiers fled toward the desert plain.
