Context — The Fall of Jerusalem
8The Chaldeans set fire to the palace of the king and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to him.
10But Nebuzaradan left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people who had no property, and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
11Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying, 12“Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.”Cross References

Jeremiah 39:10 Summary
This verse, Jeremiah 39:10, tells us that even in the midst of war and destruction, God can bring about small acts of kindness and provision. Nebuzaradan, a Babylonian captain, showed mercy to the poor people of Judah by giving them vineyards and fields, which is similar to how God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness, as seen in Exodus 16:4. This verse reminds us that God is a God of mercy and provision, and He can bring good out of difficult situations (Romans 8:28). By trusting in God's goodness, we can have faith that He will provide for us, just as He provided for the poor people in Jeremiah 39:10.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Nebuzaradan leave some poor people in the land of Judah?
Nebuzaradan left some poor people in the land of Judah because they had no property and were likely unable to care for themselves, as seen in Jeremiah 39:10, and this act of kindness may have been a display of God's mercy, as noted in Psalms 145:9, which says God is good to all and has compassion on all He has made.
What does it mean that Nebuzaradan gave the poor people vineyards and fields?
Giving the poor people vineyards and fields, as stated in Jeremiah 39:10, meant that Nebuzaradan was providing them with a means of sustaining themselves, similar to how God provided for the Israelites in Deuteronomy 8:7-10, where He gave them a land with abundant resources.
Is this verse suggesting that God is only concerned with the poor?
While Jeremiah 39:10 highlights Nebuzaradan's kindness to the poor, it does not suggest that God is only concerned with the poor, as seen in Acts 10:34, which states that God shows no favoritism, and in Matthew 5:45, which says that God causes the sun to rise on both the evil and the good.
How does this verse relate to the rest of Jeremiah 39?
Jeremiah 39:10 is part of the larger narrative of the fall of Jerusalem, as described in Jeremiah 39:8-12, and it serves as a contrast to the destruction and captivity that occurred, showcasing God's mercy and provision even in the midst of judgment, similar to the message in Lamentations 3:22-23.
Reflection Questions
- How can I, like Nebuzaradan, show kindness and compassion to those in need around me?
- What are some ways that God has provided for me, even in difficult circumstances, and how can I be thankful for those provisions?
- What does this verse teach me about God's heart for the poor and vulnerable, and how can I reflect that heart in my own life?
- In what ways can I trust God to provide for me, just as He provided for the poor people in Jeremiah 39:10, and how can I have faith in His goodness and mercy?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 39:10
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah,.... Because they would have been of no service to the Chaldeans, but a burden to
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 39:10
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. But Nebuzar-adan ... left ... the poor ... which had nothing.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:10
This is usual with conquerors, for whose profit it is not that the countries conquered by them should lie waste, like wildernesses, but be peopled, and manured, that they may render some tribute to them: withal the justice of God is often seen in this, thus restoring to them ofttimes with advantage, by the hands of enemies that prove conquerors, those estates which in corrupt times their proper magistrates by violence and oppression took from them, or at least more than compensating their losses by acts of violence and injustice.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:10
Jeremiah 39:10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. Ver. 10. See on 2 Kings 25:11-12. Sic vides miras rerum vices. See what a wonderful turn of things was here on the sudden, and how that of Seneca was here made good, Una dies interest inter magnam civitatem et nullam, There is but a day’ s difference sometimes between a great city and no city. Josephus and some others say that the Rechabites, as men peaceable, and given much to contemplation, were also left in the land. This destruction of Jerusalem was, saith Oecolampadius, a kind of type of the general judgment. For like as in Jerusalem the wicked perished, but the poor and peaceable were not only spared, but enriched, so shall it be at that day.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:10
Verse 10. Left of the poor of the people] The very refuse of the inhabitants, who were not worthy of being carried away; and among them he divided the fields and vineyards of those whom he took away.
