His role was crucial in the final siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. The decision to leave some people behind reflects a common practice in ancient conquests, where conquerors would leave behind a remnant to tend the land and prevent it from becoming desolate. This action also fulfilled God's prophecy that a remnant would remain in the land (<a href="/jeremiah/24-8.htm">Jeremiah 24:8-10</a>).<p><b>some of the poor people who had no property</b><br>The poor people mentioned here were likely those who had not been involved in the political or military resistance against Babylon. They were considered less of a threat and thus were left to maintain the land. This aligns with the biblical theme of God’s concern for the poor and marginalized, as seen throughout the Old and New Testaments (e.g., <a href="/psalms/72-4.htm">Psalm 72:4</a>, <a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3</a>). The poor often symbolize those who are humble and reliant on God.<p><b>and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields</b><br>This act of giving vineyards and fields to the poor can be seen as a reversal of fortunes, where those who had nothing were suddenly given stewardship over the land. It reflects the biblical principle of God's provision and care for the needy (<a href="/psalms/113-7.htm">Psalm 113:7-8</a>). This also serves as a type of restoration, hinting at the future hope of Israel's restoration and the coming of the Messiah, who would bring ultimate restoration and justice (<a href="/isaiah/61.htm">Isaiah 61:1-3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nebuzaradan.htm">Nebuzaradan</a></b><br>The captain of the guard for the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar.
