We finally get to the good stuff!!!
Egypt and the Chaldeans duke it out in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah runs away to Benjamin but is thrown in jail for being a pompous dick. Again.
Is this a new prison term for Jeremiah or is this just Quentin Tarantino style of writing?
Jeremiah gets stuck in the mud and has to be pulled out by ropes!!! LOL!
Is this what the OT has come to? The hell and brimstone has devolved into cranky prophets stuck in the med.
Zedekiah asks for jeremiah to give it to him straight. Jeremiah lays out the kings options
Jerusalem falls to Babylon after two years of battle. Zedekiah flees with family but is caught. The Chaldeans decimate Jerusalem.
39:4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

39:5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

Sounds exactly like Muammar Gaddafi and his family. The more things change...
