Jeremiah 37:5

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And Pharaoh`s army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that were besieging Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they brake up from Jerusalem." — Jeremiah 37:5 (ASV)

Then—And. Pharaoh-Hophra (Jeremiah 44:30), the Apries of Herodotus, probably withdrew without giving Nebuchadnezzar battle. After a reign of 25 years, he was dethroned by Amasis, but allowed to inhabit his palace at Sais, where finally he was strangled.
