Jeremiah 39:5
"When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah."
Key Reflection
When Zedekiah and his army saw the Chaldean forces, they fled under the cover of night through a secret route—out of the city via the king’s garden and the gate between two walls, heading toward the Arabah (Jordan Valley). This detail highlights the strategic importance of hidden exits and the panic that gripped Zedekiah's forces as the Chaldeans overtook Jerusalem.
