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.
