(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_broken_into the=city and=all men_of of_(the),war the=night road/way_of gate between the_two,walls which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in garden the=king and_[the],Chaldeans on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city all_around and=he/it_went road/way_of of,the_Arabah )
The expression was breached is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And the Babylonians breached the city] or [And the Chaldeans breached the city]

The author is leaving out a word (or perhaps the word was lost in the process of scribal transmission) that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply this word from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [fled at night]

The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

To translate the term Chaldeans here and in the rest of this chapter, see how you decided to translate it in [24:2](../24/02.md). Alternate translation: [now the Babylonians]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_broken_into the=city and=all men_of of_(the),war the=night road/way_of gate between the_two,walls which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in garden the=king and_[the],Chaldeans on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city all_around and=he/it_went road/way_of of,the_Arabah )
As the next verse indicates, the pronoun he refers to King Zedekiah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Since it is clear that the king fled the city with all the men of war, you could also use a plural pronoun here. Alternate translation: [and King Zedekiah went] or [and they went]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
