Look at the context.

Nebuzeardan may have arrived at the Nebuchadnezzar’s encampment on the
seventh, but the city wasn’t taken until the nineth 2 Kings 25:3, delaying
Nebuzeardan’s entrance to the city until the tenth after mopping up
resistance to the invasion. Thus both could be correct. Or we could be
dealing with scribal
error on one or the other account. It seems that in the context, the entrance
into Jerusalem was the tenth.
