Jeremiah 52:24-30
New Living Translation
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.
