2 Kings 25:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.

9 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.

10 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.

11 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.

12 But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
