The "fifth month" corresponds to the Hebrew month of Av, which typically falls around July or August in the Gregorian calendar. The "tenth day" is significant in Jewish history as it marks the day when the destruction of the First Temple began. This date is remembered in Jewish tradition as a day of mourning and fasting, known as Tisha B'Av, commemorating various tragedies in Jewish history, including the destruction of both the First and Second Temples.in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon This phrase situates the event within the broader historical context of the Babylonian Empire. Nebuchadnezzar II was one of the most powerful and influential kings of Babylon, reigning from 605 to 562 BC. The "nineteenth year" of his reign would be around 586 BC, a pivotal year in biblical history as it marks the fall of Jerusalem and the beginning of the Babylonian exile. This period was a time of great trial and transformation for the people of Israel, as they were forced to confront the consequences of their disobedience to God and the loss of their homeland.Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard Nebuzaradan is identified as the "captain of the guard," a high-ranking official in the Babylonian military hierarchy. His role was crucial in executing the orders of Nebuchadnezzar, particularly in the siege and destruction of Jerusalem. The Hebrew root for "captain of the guard" (רַב־טַבָּחִים, rab-tabachim) can be translated as "chief of the executioners" or "chief butcher," indicating his authority and the severity of his mission. Nebuzaradan's actions fulfilled the prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets about the impending judgment on Jerusalem due to the people's persistent idolatry and rebellion against God.who served the king of Babylon This phrase underscores Nebuzaradan's loyalty and duty to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. It highlights the hierarchical structure of the Babylonian empire, where officials like Nebuzaradan were entrusted with significant responsibilities. The phrase also serves as a reminder of the sovereignty of God, who, despite the apparent dominance of earthly kings, orchestrates events according to His divine plan. The Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem was not merely a political or military event but a fulfillment of God's judgment as prophesied by Jeremiah.entered Jerusalem The entry of Nebuzaradan into Jerusalem signifies the culmination of the Babylonian siege and the beginning of the city's destruction. This moment is a turning point in the history of Israel, marking the end of the Davidic kingdom and the start of the Babylonian exile. Theologically, it represents the consequences of Israel's covenant unfaithfulness and serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance. Yet, even in this moment of judgment, there is a glimmer of hope, as the prophets also spoke of future restoration and redemption for God's people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/52.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) In the tenth day of the month.--<a href="/2_kings/25-8.htm" title="And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem:">2Kings 25:8</a> gives the "seventh day."
