Scriptural account of the Destruction of Jerusalem

2Kgs.24:[ 6] So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin יְהוֹיָקִים his son reigned in his stead.
[
7] And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
[8] Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months . And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
[
9] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

[10] At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon

נְבֻכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל

came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
[11] And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

[12] And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
[13] And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
[
14] And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

[15] And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

[16] And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

[17] And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. צִדְקִיָּהוּ
[18] Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
[
19] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
[
20] For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

2Kgs.25[ 1] And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month,

בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָעֲשִׂירִי בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ

that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

[2] And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah .

[3] And on the ( Tisha B'Tamuz ?) ninth day of the fourth month

בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ

( of the eleventh year of king Zedekiah) the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.[4] And the city was broken up,

[7] And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
[
8] And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month

וּבַחֹדֶשׁ הַחֲמִישִׁי, בְּשִׁבְעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ , which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

one year, seven month - above

[9] And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
[10] And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

same account below

Jer.52[ 6] And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month ,

בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרְבִיעִי בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ

the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.[ 7 ] Then the city was broken up , and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

[12] Now in the fifth month , in the tenth day of the month ,

וּבַחֹדֶשׁ הַחֲמִישִׁי, בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ

which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,[13 ] And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:[ 14 ] And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about

Asar b' Av burned down
