2 Kings 25:4

Back to Verses

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

The city split apart, and all the soldiers ran away at night through a gate between two walls near the king's garden. This happened because the Chaldeans surrounded the city. The king then went towards the open land.
