Context of Jeremiah 52:27

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. 26Captain Nebuzaradan took hold of all those people. He brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. There, 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. 29He took 832 people from Jerusalem in his 18th year.
