Contradiction with 2 Kings 25:1
This verse states that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, while Jeremiah 39:1 also mentions the siege but the timeline specifics can appear to differ in context.
2 Kings 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, [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.
