The Details of the Fall
Commentators explain that this verse provides a vivid, historical account of Jerusalem's fall. The city wall was breached, likely at night, and the soldiers and king fled through a specific gate near the king's garden. Their desperate escape toward the Arabah (the plain) was doomed, as the Chaldean army had the city completely surrounded.
