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

⁸ And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month; it was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; Nebuzaradan the chief of the executioners, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. ⁹ And he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great one's house he burned with fire. ¹⁰ And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the executioners broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around. ¹¹ And the rest of the people who were left in the city, and the fugitives who fell away to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the multitude, the chief of the executioners carried away. ¹² But the chief of the executioners left a few of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
