On the tenth day of the fifth month

on Jeremiah 52:12-16

The burning is dated “On the tenth day of the fifth month,” and Jewish tradition mourns it on the ninth of Av. Nebuzaradan “burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem.” Some of the poorest are left, as 39:10 records.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard,.... Which he brought with him from Riblah, or were left at Jerusalem by those that pursued after Zedekiah when the city was taken, which the captain of the guard now had the command of: broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about: See Gill on Jer 39:8.
