2Ki 25:4-5 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : Finally, the Babylonians broke through the wall and stormed the city ( 2 Kings 25:4 ). The people inside could not defend the city any longer. Many tried to escape, but many were killed by the angry attackers. v. 4–5 : King Zedekiah, his family, and his officials tried to escape at night through secret passages ( 2 Kings 25:4-5 ). However, running from God’s judgment is as hopeless as fighting against it. The Babylonian soldiers quickly found out where the king had gone and chased him. Zedekiah’s guards left him, and he was captured. If he had trusted God, he would not have been left alone like this.
