In context

1So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.

2And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.

3By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.

4Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,

5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and his whole army deserted him.
