13He set fire to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.

14The whole Babylonian army, under the commander of the imperial guard, broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.

15Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the rest of the craftsmen and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon.
