14 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:14

Commentary on Jeremiah 52:12-23

(Read Jeremiah 52:12-23)

The Chaldean army made woful havoc. But nothing is so particularly related here, as the carrying away of the articles in the temple. The remembrance of their beauty and value shows us the more the evil of sin.
