Jeremiah 52:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:30

In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar
In this year of his reign, the Jews say ^F13, Tyre was delivered into his hands; and he carried off the Jews in Moab, Ammon, and the neighbouring nations, to the number after mentioned; though some think these were the poor people of the land he took from thence, after the murder of Gedaliah, and in revenge of that: Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven
hundred forty and five persons;
all which being put together make the following sum: all the persons [were] four thousand and six hundred;
this is the sum total of the three mentioned captivities.

Jeremiah 52:30 In-Context

28 This is the record of the people that Nebuchadnezzar took away as prisoners: in his seventh year as king he carried away 3,023;

29 in his eighteenth year, 832 from Jerusalem;

30 and in his twenty-third year, 745 - taken away by Nebuzaradan. In all, 4,600 people were taken away.

31 In the year that Evil-merodach became king of Babylonia, he showed kindness to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin had been taken away as a prisoner.

32 Evil-merodach treated him kindly and gave him a position of greater honor than he gave the other kings who were exiles with him in Babylonia.
