2 Kings25:4

4 ¶ And the city was broken up , and all the men of war fled by night, by the way of the gate, between two walls , which is by the kings garden, (now the Caldees were against the city round about) and the king went the way toward the plain .

By the Chaldeans, who broke and entred the gate, Ier. 39. 3.

Which word is fitly supplied out of the parallel place, Ier. 39. 4. or out of the following verb, went away.

Between the outward and inward wall of the City, by a private way, having the advantage of the darkness of the night, and possibly of some Vault under the ground.

This word also is necessarily to be understood; partly, by its singular, which agrees not with the men of war; and partly out of the next verse, where it is expressed.

Of Iericho, as it follows.
