Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 52:16

16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vine-dressers and for husbandmen .

See the Notes on 2 Kings 25. from ver. 8. to the 13. where all this is related, onely with a small difference as to the day of the moneth when Nebuzar-adan came to Ierusalem and burnt the Temple. In the Kings it is said he came the seventh day, here it is said he came the tenth day. See the solution of it in the Annotations on 2 Kings 25. probably he might come into Ierusalem the seventh day, and not burn the Temple till the Tenth. Much of it also is related by Ieremiah, chap. 39. The Provost Marshal about a moneth after the taking of the City, returned with a part of the Army, burnt the Temple, the great Mens houses in the City and many other Houses and carried away divers prisoners, but left some of the poorer sort of the people to dress the Vineyards, and Till the Grounds, which is a thing very usual with Conquerors, for their own advantage, that their conquests may yeild them some Revenue.
