2 Kings 25:8-12

8On August 14 of that year, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard and an official of the Babylonian king, arrived in Jerusalem.

9He burned down the Temple of the Lord, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He destroyed all the important buildings in the city.

10Then he supervised the entire Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem on every side.

11Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took as exiles the rest of the people who remained in the city, the defectors who had declared their allegiance to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population.

12But the captain of the guard allowed some of the poorest people to stay behind to care for the vineyards and fields.
