Jeremiah 52:5

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.

— Jeremiah 52:5 —

⁶on the ninth day of the month, and then the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁷And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king’s garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way leading to the wilderness.
