2Ki_25:2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Ver. 2. Unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.] Which was a full year and half; yet so as that the siege was raised for a time by the coming of Pharaohhophra, that broken reed, as Ezekiel styleth him, whereunto there was no trusting; and so it proved: for he came into the field like thunder and lightning, but went out like a snuff. {Jer_37:5; Jer_37:11}
