He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
Jeremiah 52:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 52.
9 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
