2 And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that he had done Jehoiakim.
3 Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
For - on [the] anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah until cast out he them from on face his and he rebelled Zedekiah against [the] king of Babylon.
4 But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.

And it was broken into the city and all [the] men of war they fled and they went out from the city night [the] way of [the] gate between the two walls which [was] at [the] garden of the king and [the] Chaldeans [were] on the city all around and they went [the] way of the Arabah.

And they pursued [the] army of [the] Chaldeans after the king and they overtook Zedekiah in [the] plains of Jericho and all army his they were scattered from with him.
