KJV ORIGINAL
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
When King Zedekiah and his soldiers saw the enemy forces, they completely panicked. They snuck out of the city in the middle of the night, escaping through the king's garden and slipping through a gate between two walls, then heading out toward the plains.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even kings run when they're truly cornered — sometimes there's no fighting your way out.
