"The city remained under siege until Zedekiah’s eleventh year."
— Jeremiah 52:5, NET Bible
“So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.”
“So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. ”
“So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.”
“And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.”
“So the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.”
“So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.”
He did what displeased the LORD just as Jehoiakim had done.
What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the LORD’s anger when he drove them out of his sight. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came against Jerusalem with his whole army and set up camp outside it. They built siege ramps all around it. He arrived on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year that Zedekiah ruled over Judah.
The city remained under siege until Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city was so severe the residents had no food.
They broke through the city walls, and all the soldiers tried to escape. They left the city during the night. They went through the gate between the two walls that is near the king’s garden.(The Babylonians had the city surrounded.) Then they headed for the rift valley.
But the Babylonian army chased after the king. They caught up with Zedekiah in the rift valley plains of Jericho, and his entire army deserted him.
