Babylon's army takes power over Jerusalem
39 This is how the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon got power over Jerusalem. In the tenth month of the ninth year that Zedekiah had ruled Judah as king, Nebuchadnezzar's army marched to attack Jerusalem. The whole army made their camp around the city. 2 They stayed there until the ninth day of the fourth month of the 11th year that Zedekiah had been king. On that day, Babylon's soldiers broke through the walls of the city. 3 The king of Babylon's officers came into Jerusalem. They sat at the Middle Gate of the city.

All the other officers of the king of Babylon met with them there.
