Jeremiah 39:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 39:3

The Fall of Jerusalem

1 In the ^aninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.

2 In the ^aeleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the¹ city was penetrated.

3 ^aThen all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer, Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

4 ^aSo it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the¹ plain.

5 But the Chaldean army pursued them and ^aovertook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to ^bRiblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
