Context of Jeremiah 52:26
24Captain Nebuzaradan took hold of these people: Seraiah, the leader of the priests. Zephaniah, the next most important priest. The three temple guards. 25He also took hold of these people who remained in Jerusalem: The palace officer with authority over the soldiers. Seven of the king's advisors. The army secretary who took men to join the army. 60 other people of Judah who were inside the city. Captain Nebuzaradan took hold of all those people. He brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27There, at Riblah in the Hamath region, the king of Babylon commanded his soldiers to punish them all with death. That was how Judah's people went into exile, away from their own land. 28This is a list of the number of people that Nebuchadnezzar took away as prisoners to Babylon: He took 3,023 people from Judah in his seventh year as king.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 52:26
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-30Verses 24-30 The leaders of the Jews caused them to err; but now they are, in particular, made monuments of Divine justice. Here is an account of two earlier captivities. This people often were wonders both of judgment and mercy.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-34This chapter retells the story from 2 Kings 24:18–25:30, describing Jerusalem's last month, with some added details and changes. Repeating this passage highlights Jeremiah's honesty as a true prophet of God. Everything Jeremiah predicted about the city's destruction and the end of Judah's kingdom happened. Similarly, his predictions about the Exile, the hardships of the survivors in Babylon, and their return also came true.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-34(See on Jr 51:64). Jeremiah, having already (thirty-ninth and fortieth chapters) given the history in the proper place, was not likely to repeat it here. Its canonical authority as inspired is shown by its being in the Septuagint version. It contains the capture and burning of Jerusalem, &c., Zedekiah's punishment, and the better treatment of Jehoiachin under Evil-merodach, down to his death. These last events were probably subsequent to Jeremiah's time…Read the comment
