Jeremiah 52:12-16

12 1Now on the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the 2nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, 3Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, 4who was in the service of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13He 5burned the house of the Lord, the 6king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every large house he burned with fire. 14So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard 7broke down all the walls around Jerusalem. 15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard 8carried away into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the 9 10deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the artisans. 16But 11Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and 12plowmen.
