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 ^cbuilt forts against it round about.

  6  For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a ^amount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

  22  At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint ^abattering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
