14 And he took into exile+ all Jerusalem and all the princes+ and all the valiant, mighty+ men—ten thousand he was taking into exile—and also every craftsman+ and builder of bulwarks. No one had been left behind except the lowly class+ of the people of the land.

10 And some of the people, the lowly ones who had nothing at all, Neb·uʹzar·adʹan the chief of the bodyguard let remain in the land of Judah;+ and he went on to give them vineyards and compulsory services on that day.+

7 In time all the chiefs* of the military forces who were in the field,+ they and their men, got to hear that the king of Babylon had commissioned Ged·a·liʹah the son of A·hiʹkam over the land and that he had commissioned him [over] the men and women and little children and some of the lowly people of the land, who had not been taken into exile in Babylon.+
