2 Kings 24:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 And the Lord sent against him (A)bands of Chaldeans, (B)bands of Arameans, (C)bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. He sent them against Judah to destroy it, (D)in accordance with the word of the Lord which He had spoken through His servants the prophets. 3 (E)It indeed came upon Judah at the [a]command of the Lord, to remove them from His sight (F)due to the sins of Manasseh, in accordance with everything that he had done, 4 and (G)also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the Lord was unwilling to forgive.

Bring them to devour!
