2 And the city continued besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 3 And the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, there was so great hunger in the city, that there was no sustenance for the people of the land. 4 And thereto the city was broken up: wherefore all the men of arms fled by night, by a way through a gate, between two walls hard on the king's garden: the Chaldeans lying about the city. And the king went straight toward the desert.
