The Egyptians having raised the siege of the Chaldeans, king Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to pray for the people. Jeremiah prophesieth the Chaldeans' certain return and victory: he is taken for a fugitive, beaten and put in prison: he assureth Zedekiah of the captivity. Intreating for his liberty, he obtaineth some favour.
Before Christ 598.
