Contextual Overview

8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon) Nebuzaradan the chief of the executioners, the servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 And he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; yea, he burned every great house with fire. 10 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the executioners broke down the wall of Jerusalem all around. 11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those that had fallen away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the chief of the executioners exiled. 12 But the chief of the executioners left of the poorest of the land for vinedressers and farmers. 13 And the bronze pillars in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the bronze sea in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and lifted up their bronze to Babylon. 14 And they took the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered. 15 And the chief of the executioners took the firepans, and the sprinkling basins, all of gold and silver. 16 There was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels, the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah. 17 Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it was of bronze, and the height of the capital was three cubits, and the grating and the pomegranates

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 25:10. Brake down the walls — In the same fifth month, Jeremiah 1:3, the walls of Jerusalem being razed to the ground, all that were left in the city, and all that had fled over formerly to Nebuchadnezzar, and all the common people of the city, with all the king's treasures, those of the nobles, and the whole furniture of the temple, did Nebuzar-adan carry off to Babylon. See Jeremiah 39:8-9; Jeremiah 52:14; Jeremiah 52:23. And thus was Judah carried away out of her own land, four hundred and sixty-eight years after David began to reign over it; from the division of the ten tribes three hundred and eighty-eight years; and from the destruction of the kingdom of Israel, one hundred and thirty-four years; A.M. 3416, and before Christ five hundred and ninety. And thus ends what is called the fifth age of the world. See USHER'S Annals.
