Jeremias 39:4
And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king's garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Cumque vidisset eos Sedecias rex Juda, et omnes viri bellatores, fugerunt : et egressi sunt nocte de civitate per viam horti regis, et per portam quæ erat inter duos muros, et egressi sunt ad viam deserti.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- The Septuagint's Jeremias lacks Douay 39:4 to 13: Sedecias's flight and capture, the burning of Jerusalem, the exile, and the king's order to look after Jeremias.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיְהִ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר רָ֠אָם צִדְקִיָּ֨הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ יְהוּדָ֜ה וְכֹ֣ל אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַמִּלְחָמָ֗ה וַֽ֠יִּבְרְחוּ וַיֵּצְא֨וּ לַ֤יְלָה מִן הָעִיר֙ דֶּ֚רֶךְ גַּ֣ן הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בְּשַׁ֖עַר בֵּ֣ין הַחֹמֹתָ֑יִם וַיֵּצֵ֖א דֶּ֥רֶךְ הָעֲרָבָֽה
Haydock's commentary
Walls. This gate had not yet been seized, (Calmet) leading to Jericho, ver. 5. (Haydock) (Ezechiel xii. 4.)
Roman Septuagint passes over the next 12 verses, which seem to be taken from 4 Kings xxv. 4. (Calmet)
Grabe supplies ver. 4. to 13., inclusively. "And they sent," &c., which is well connected with ver. 3.
The possession of one gate would let all the army enter: whereupon Sedecias fled by a postern gate. (Worthington)
