Thematic Bible: Tammuz (july)


Thematic Bible



In the fourth month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.

By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that the people of the land had no food. Then the city was broken into, and all the warriors fled. They left the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king's garden, though the Chaldeans surrounded the city. They made their way along the route to the Arabah.
