Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
So, he let the Chaldean king attack them. This king killed their young men inside their holy place and showed no mercy to anyone - not boys, girls, old people, or those very old. He took everyone captive.
