Context of Jeremiah 52:12

10At Riblah, the king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, and also all the Judean leaders. 11Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes. Then the king of Babylon bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon, where he put him in prison until the day of his death. Now in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month—which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard came into Jerusalem to represent the king of Babylon. 13Then he burned the House of Adonai, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every large house with fire. 14Then all the Chaldean army, which was with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
