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.
