Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 25:9

"And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king`s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire." — 2 Kings 25:9 (ASV)

He burnt the house ... king’s house; —Which were in the upper city.

And every great man’s house. —Omit man’s. The phrase limits the preceding one, “all the houses of Jerusalem,” that is to say, “every great house” (2 Chronicles 36:19, all her palaces). The common houses were spared for the poor who were left (2 Kings 25:12).
