Context of Jeremiah 52:13

11Then he blinded Zedekiah and put him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and put him in a prison, where he stayed until he died. 12On the tenth day of the fifth month of Nebuchadnezzar’s nineteenth year as king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, who was the captain of the guard and an officer of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. He burned down the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. Every important building was burned down. 14The entire Babylonian army that was with the captain of the guard tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 15Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, captured the few people left in the city, those who surrendered to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population.
