On the seventh day of the fifth month of the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the bodyguard, ‘ comes to, ’ or arrives at, Jerusalem. Perhaps from his camp outside the city walls, Nebuzaradan surveys the situation and plans a course of action.
Iespējams, atrazdamies aiz pilsētas mūriem izveidotajā karaspēka nometnē, Nebusaradans iepazīstas ar situāciju un izplāno turpmāko rīcību.
