2 KINGS 25:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.”
And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and laid siege to it; they built siegeworks all around it — Nebuchadnezzar's final siege against Jerusalem initiates the siege that will culminate in destruction (586 BCE). The precise dating—ninth year, tenth month, tenth day—anchors the historical event. The reference to 'built siegeworks all around it' indicates systematic siege preparation for protracted warfare.
