Jeremiah 37:11

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans were broken up from Jerusalem,.... When the siege of the city was broken up and raised: or, when they "went up from Jerusalem" ; were gone from it;for fear of Pharaoh's army; or rather "because of Pharaoh's army" .

The word "fear" is not in the text; nor did they leave Jerusalem for fear of his army, but to meet it, and give it battle, as they did; however, by this means there was a freer egress and regress from and to the city.
