15And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. 16But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
