2 Kings 25:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month,[a] famine gripped the city, and the people of the land had no bread.
4 Then the city wall was breached, and all the soldiers fled toward the Arabah through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans[b] were surrounding the city. 5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king. They caught him in the Arabah near Jericho. His whole army was scattered away from him.
