25 After him Paʹlal the son of Uʹzai did repair work in front of the Buttress and the tower that goes out from the King’s House,*+ the upper one that belongs to the Courtyard of the Guard.+ After him there was Pe·daiʹah the son of Paʹrosh.+

2 At that time the armies of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the Courtyard of the Guard+ in the house* of the king of Judah.

28 Until the day that Jerusalem was captured, Jeremiah remained in the Courtyard of the Guard;+ he was still there when Jerusalem was captured.+
