2 Kings 25:8-12

8On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard who served the king of Babylon, arrived in Jerusalem.

9He burned down the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

10The whole Babylonian army that came with the captain of the royal guard tore down the walls that surrounded Jerusalem.

11Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, deported the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen.

12But he left behind some of the poor of the land and gave them fields and vineyards.
