Context of Jeremiah 39:9

7Then he blinded Zedekiah’s eyes, and he bound him in shackles to carry him off to Babylon. 8Then the Chaldeans burned the king’s palace and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away into exile the rest of the people—those who remained in the city and also the deserters who had defected to him, and the rest of the people remaining. 10But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the people, who had nothing, behind in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields in that day. 11Now King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying:
