But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land,.... Of the land of Judea, who lived in the country, and had not been concerned in defending the city against the Chaldeans:
for vinedressers, and for husbandmen; to look after the vineyards and fields, and dress and manure them, that the king of Babylon might receive some advantage by the conquest he had made; See Gill on Jer 39:10.

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges 1878 · Public Domain 15. The whole v. is omitted by the LXX.…
15. The whole v. is omitted by the LXX. The words “of the poorest sort of the people and” seem to have come in from the next v. through an error of sight on the part of a copyist. The three classes of persons actually spoken of in the v. appear to be (a) those found within the city at the time of its capture, (b) those who had gone out to the Chaldaeans during the siege (see note on Jer_39:9), (c) the “residue of the multitude.” But for “multitude” read, as mg. artificers. Cp. Pro_8:30 (R. V. “a master workman”). The original differs by but one consonant from “multitude” which is the reading in Kings.

(15) Certain of the poor of the people.—Omitted in 2Ki_25:11, and probably inserted here by an error of transcription, as the next verse states that the “poor of the land” were left in their own country.
The rest of the multitude.—Better, perhaps, the remnant of the work-people, as in Pro_8:30, where many commentators so render the word, “I was with him as a worker” and Song Son_7:1. The versions, however, agree in giving “multitude.”
