Jeremiah 39:8 in Context — Jeremiah 39

6 Le roi de Babylone fit égorger à Ribla les fils de Sédécias en sa présence; le roi de Babylone fit aussi égorger tous les grands de Juda.

7 Puis il fit crever les yeux à Sédécias, et le fit lier avec des chaînes d’airain, pour l’emmener à Babylone.

8 Les Chaldéens brûlèrent par le feu la maison du roi et les maisons du peuple, et ils démolirent les murailles de Jérusalem.

9 Nebuzaradan, chef des gardes, emmena captifs à Babylone ceux du peuple qui étaient demeurés dans la ville, ceux qui s’étaient rendus à lui, et le reste du peuple.

10 Mais Nebuzaradan, chef des gardes, laissa dans le pays de Juda quelques-uns des plus pauvres du peuple, ceux qui n’avaient rien; et il leur donna alors des vignes et des champs.
