Exegesis
The direct objects melech Bavel {מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל | me-lē-ke bā-vel} and hakkasdim {הַכַּשְׂדִּים | ha-kas-dîm} are linked by hatzarim {הַצָּרִים | ha-ṣā-rîm} (“besieging”) and located by michutz la-chomah {מִחוּץ לַחֻמָּה | mi-ḥûṣ la-ḥō-māh} (“outside the wall”).
In context — Jeremiah 21:4
Thus says the LORD God of Israel : Behold, I am turning back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
