2 Kings 25:8-12 - Jerusalem Is Sacked And The Temple Burned

⁸ And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: ⁹ And he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burned he with fire. ¹⁰ And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about. ¹¹ Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away. ¹² But the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
