## Jeremiah 39:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/5) But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/6) Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/7) Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/8) ¶ And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/9) Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/10) But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.**
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/11) ¶ Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,**
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/39/12) Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.*
