Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
Then the city broke apart, and all the soldiers ran away, leaving at night through a gate between two walls near the king's garden. The Babylonians surrounded the city, so they escaped through the open area.
