24 Then the captain of the guard took (A)Seraiah the chief priest and (B)Zephaniah the second priest, with the three [a](C)officers of the temple. 25 He also took from the city one official who was overseer of the warriors, seven [b]of the (D)king’s advisers who were found in the city, the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men from the people of the land who were found inside the city. 26 Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguards took them and (E)brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 Then the king of Babylon (F)struck them and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was (G)led into exile from its land.

28 These are the people whom (H)Nebuchadnezzar took into exile: in the [c]seventh year 3,023 Jews; 29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar 832 persons from Jerusalem; 30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, (I)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took into exile 745 Jewish people; there were 4,600 people in all.

24 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took with him as prisoners Seraiah the high priest, Zephaniah the priest of the second rank, and the three chief gatekeepers. 25 And from among the people still hiding in the city, he took an officer who had been in charge of the Judean army; seven of the king’s personal advisers; the army commander’s chief secretary, who was in charge of recruitment; and sixty other citizens. 26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 And there at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon had them all put to death. So the people of Judah were sent into exile from their land.

28 The number of captives taken to Babylon in the seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign[a] was 3,023. 29 Then in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year[b] he took 832 more. 30 In Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year[c] he sent Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who took 745 more—a total of 4,600 captives in all.
