2 Kings 25:3

Context
25:3 By the ninth day of the fourth month 1  the famine in the city was so severe the residents 2  had no food.

1 tn The MT has simply “of the month,” but the parallel passage in Jer 52:6 has “fourth month,” and this is followed by almost all English translations. The word “fourth,” however, is not actually present in the MT of 2 Kgs 25:3.

sn According to modern reckoning that would have been July 18, 586 b.c. The siege thus lasted almost a full eighteen months.

2 tn Heb “the people of the land.”
