Jeremiah 39:9-14

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.

10But 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.’

13So Captain Nebuzaradan, an important officer called Nebushazban, Nergal-Sharezer, the king's advisor, and all King Nebuchadnezzar's other officers did that.

14They sent some men to bring Jeremiah from the palace yard. They told Gedaliah to take care of Jeremiah. Gedaliah was Ahikam's son and Shaphan's grandson. He took Jeremiah to his home. So Jeremiah continued to live among his own people.
