then the city was broken up, and by night all the men of war went by way of the gate, between the two walls by the king’s garden; and the Chaldeans were against the city round about; and the king went the way toward the Arabah.
And they went after them to the Jordan. And, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.
And the city was breached, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. And the Chaldeans lay all around the city. And they went by the way of the Arabah.
And the prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark and go forth through the wall. They shall dig to bring out by it. He shall cover his face so that he does not look with the eye on the earth.
Also their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. But all the earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy. For He shall make a complete, yea, a speedy end of all those living on the land.
