8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s (may Nebo protect the crown) reign over Babylon (confusion by mixing), Nebuzaradan (Nebo has given seed) captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem (city of peace). 9 He burned down the house of the LORD {YHWH}, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem (city of peace)—every significant building. 10 And the whole army of the Chaldeans (clod-breakers) under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem (city of peace). 11 Then Nebuzaradan (Nebo has given seed) 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 (confusion by mixing) 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. 2 Kings 25:8-12, Berean Annotated Bible.
