If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I...

Year nine and the 10th month Nebuchadrezzar came to Babylon and surrounded Jerusalem with his army.  The people of Judah could not do anything outside of the place where the Babylonian army camped themselves.  When a city is under siege, there will be a lack of the basic needs for the city to survive because the people of the sieged the city cannot import or export the goods they need.  The Words spoken by God through Jeremiah is now happening in the land of Judah.  2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.   Two years later,  Nebuchadnezzar invaded the city of Jerusalem.  Zedekiah reigned for 11 years and 4 months and was king of Judah. 3 And all the princes of the king of B...
