a military force from Egypt came to the defense of Jerusalem,
causing the Babylonians to lift the siege temporarily to meet the Egyptian threat. (Jer 37:5)

Later they broke this covenant by enslaving those whom they had set free. (Jer 34:8-22) This appears to have taken place at the time [...] Apparently believing that the Babylonians would be defeated and unable to resume the siege, those who had released enslaved Hebrews felt that the danger was over and, therefore, again brought freed Hebrew slaves into servitude.

Later, when Jeremiah decided to leave Jerusalem to go to Benjamin, he was seized at the Gate of Benjamin and falsely accused of falling away to the Chaldeans. Though Jeremiah denied the charge, Irijah, the officer having the oversight, did not listen to him but brought the prophet to the princes. This led to Jeremiah’s being imprisoned in the house of Jehonathan. After a considerable period had passed and Jerusalem was evidently again being besieged by the Babylonians, Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah. In reply to the king’s inquiry, Jeremiah told Zedekiah that he would be given into the hand of the king of Babylon. When Jeremiah pleaded that he not be returned to the house of Jehonathan, Zedekiah granted his request and had him put in custody in the Courtyard of the Guard.​—Jer 37:11-21; 32:1-5.

"And it came about in the ninth year of his being king, in the tenth month on the tenth day of the month, that Neb·u·chad·nez´zar the king of Babylon came, yes, he and all his military force, against Jerusalem and began camping against it and building against it a siege wall all around. 2 And the city came to be under siege until the eleventh year of King Zed·e·ki´ah. 3 On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was severe in the city, and there proved to be no bread for the people of the land" 2 King : 25 : 1- 3 (New World Translation)

"And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying: 2 “Son of man, write down for yourself the name of the day, this selfsame day. The king of Babylon has thrown himself against Jerusalem on this selfsame day." Ezekiel 24 : 1 - 2 (New World Translation)

lunar sabbath year of 610-609 B.C.E: However, before that year of liberation ran out, those former slaveholders broke their solemn covenant and forced their former menservants and maidservants back into slavery. This displeased the covenant-keeping Jehovah and added another reason for him to punish them.​—Jer. 34:8-16.
