Context of 2 Kings 25:11

9And he burned the house of the Lord, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire. 10So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the bodyguards tore down the walls around Jerusalem. Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguards, led into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the people. 12But the captain of the bodyguards left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers. 13Now the Chaldeans smashed to pieces the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and the bronze Sea which were in the house of the Lord, and carried the bronze to Babylon.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11The fugitives … - It was from a fear of the treatment which he would receive at the hands of these deserters that Zedekiah persisted in defending the city to the last Jeremiah 38:19.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-21Verses 8-21 The city and temple were burnt, and, it is probable, the ark in it. By this, God showed how little he cares for the outward pomp of his worship, when the life and power of religion are neglected. The walls of Jerusalem were thrown down, and the people carried captive to Babylon. The vessels of the temple were carried away. When the things signified were sinned away, what should the signs stand there for? It was righteous with God to deprive…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11-12The Babylonians exiled most of the population, including some who willingly joined them (Jeremiah 39:9; 52:15). They left the poorest people behind because they were unlikely to cause trouble and could work the vineyards and fields.Read the comment
