⁸ It was the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. ⁹ He had the Temple of Jehovah, the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire. ¹⁰ The army of the Chaldaeans under the command of the captain of the army broke down the walls around Jerusalem. ¹¹ The rest of the people still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen were taken away as prisoners by Nebuzaradan, the captain of the army. ¹² He let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
