Context of Jeremiah 39:10

8Babylon's soldiers destroyed the king's palace with fire. They also destroyed the temple and the people's houses in Jerusalem. They knocked down the walls around the city. 9Nebuzaradan, the captain of King Nebuchadnezzar's guards, took hold of all the people who remained in Jerusalem. He sent them away as prisoners to Babylon. He also sent away the people of Judah who had joined Babylon's army. But Captain Nebuzaradan let some of the very poor people remain in Judah. He gave them some fields and vineyards to take care of. 11King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had commanded Captain Nebuzaradan what to do with Jeremiah. 12He said, ‘Find Jeremiah and take care of him. Do not hurt him. Help him in any way that he asks you.’
