At Jeremiah 34: 7, the prophet describes the time “when the military forces of the king of Babylon were fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left remaining, against Lachish and against Azekah; for they, the fortified cities, were the ones that remained over among the cities of Judah. ”
في ارميا ٣٤ :‏ ٧‏ ،‏ يصف النبي ما حدث « حين كان جيش ملك بابل يحارب اورشليم وكل ما بقي من مدن يهوذا ،‏ اي :‏ لخيش وعزيقة ،‏ لأن هاتين هما اللتان بقيتا من مدن يهوذا ،‏ وهما مدينتان حصينتان » .‏
