Jeremiah 39:8-12

8The Chaldeans burned the king's house and the house of the people, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

9Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried into exile to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to him, and the people who remained.

10Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah some of the poor people who owned nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave command concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying,

12"Take him, look after him well, and do him no harm, but deal with him as he tells you."
