Jeremiah 52:24-30
New English Translation
24 The captain of the royal guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest who was second in rank, and the three doorkeepers.[a] 25 From the city he took an official who was in charge of the soldiers, seven of the king’s advisers who were discovered in the city, an official army secretary who drafted citizens[b] for military service, and sixty citizens who were discovered in the middle of the city. 26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 The king of Babylon ordered them to be executed[c] at Riblah in the territory of Hamath.
So Judah was taken into exile away from its land. 28 Here is the official record of the number of people[d] Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: In the seventh year,[e] 3,023 Jews; 29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year,[f] 832 people from Jerusalem; 30 in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year,[g] Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, carried into exile 745 Judeans. In all, 4,600 people went into exile.
