8 In the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, on the seventh day of the fifth month, Nebuzaradan, the king of Babylon's chief deputy, arrived in Jerusalem.
9 He burned The Temple of God to the ground, went on to the royal palace, and then finished off the city - burned the whole place down.
10 He put the Babylonian troops he had with him to work knocking down the city walls.
11 Finally, he rounded up everyone left in the city, including those who had earlier deserted to the king of Babylon, and took them off into exile.
