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.

30Captain Nebuzaradan took 745 people from Judah in Nebuchadnezzar's 23rd year as king. So Nebuchadnezzar took 4,600 people away as his prisoners.

31137 years after King Jehoiachin of Judah had gone as a prisoner to Babylon, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. On the 25th day of the 12th month, he took Jehoiachin out from his prison so that he became free.

Notes

  1. 1. Jeremiah 52:31 Jehoiachin had been king of Judah when King Nebuchadnezzar took him away to Babylon as his prisoner. Nebuchadnezzar then chose Zedekiah to rule Judah as king, instead of Jehoiachin. See Jeremiah 24:1; 2 Kings 24:15-17. ↩
