Melachim II (2 Kings) 25:3
בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ, וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בָּעִיר; וְלֹא-הָיָה לֶחֶם, לְעַם הָאָרֶץ
B’tish’ah la-chodesh, va-yechezaq ha-ra’av ba-‘ir; v’lo-hayah lechem, l’am ha-‘aretz
On the ninth day of the month, the famine became severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. (Note: The “fourth month” is contextually understood from Jeremiah 52:6.)
Divrei Hayamim I (1 Chronicles) 27:7
הָרְבִיעִי לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרְבִיעִי, עֲשָׂהאֵל אֲחִי יוֹאָב, וּזְבַדְיָה בְנוֹ, אַחֲרָיו; וְעַל, מַחֲלֻקְתּוֹ, עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה, אָלֶף
Ha-revi’i la-chodesh ha-revi’i, ‘Asah’el achi Yo’av, u-Zvad’yah b’no acharav; v’-‘al machaluqto, ‘esrim v’-arba’ah alef
The fourth commander, for the fourth month, was Asahel, the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son succeeded him; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.
Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) 39:2
בְּעַשְׁתֵּי-עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לְצִדְקִיָּהוּ, בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרְבִיעִי בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ, הָבְקְעָה, הָעִיר
B’ashtei-‘esreh shanah l’Tzidqiyyahu, ba-chodesh ha-revi’i b’tish’ah la-chodesh, hovqə’ah ha-‘ir
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was breached.
Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) 52:6
בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרְבִיעִי בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ, וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בָּעִיר; וְלֹא-הָיָה לֶחֶם, לְעַם הָאָרֶץ
Ba-chodesh ha-revi’i b’tish’ah la-chodesh, va-yechezaq ha-ra’av ba-‘ir; v’lo-hayah lechem l’am ha-‘aretz
In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the famine became severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 1:1
וַיְהִי בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה, בָּרְבִיעִי בַּחֲמִשָּׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ, וַאֲנִי בְתוֹךְ-הַגּוֹלָה, עַל-נְהַר-כְּבָר; נִפְתְּחוּ, הַשָּׁמַיִם, וָאֶרְאֶה, מַרְאוֹת אֱלֹהִים
Va-y’hi bishloshim shanah, ba-revi’i ba-chamishah la-chodesh, va-‘ani v’tokh-ha-golah, ‘al-n’har-K’var; nift’chu ha-shamayim, va-‘er’eh mar’ot Elohim
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Kevar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Zechariah 8:19
כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, צוֹם הָרְבִיעִי וְצוֹם הַחֲמִישִׁי וְצוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְצוֹם הָעֲשִׂירִי יִהְיֶה לְבֵית-יְהוּדָה לְשָׂשׂוֹן וּלְשִׂמְחָה, וּלְמֹעֲדִים, טוֹבִים; וְהָאֱמֶת וְהַשָּׁלוֹם, אֱהָבוּ
Koh-amar Adonai Tz’va’ot, tzom ha-revi’i v’tzom ha-chamishi v’tzom ha-sh’vi’i v’tzom ha-‘asiri yihyeh l’veit-Y’hudah l’sason u-l’simchah, u-l’mo’adim tovim; v’ha-’emet v’ha-shalom ehavu
So said the Lord of Hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], the fast of the fifth [month], the fast of the seventh [month], and the fast of the tenth [month] shall be for the house of Judah for joy and happiness and for happy holidays—but [promote] truth and peace.
