Context of Jeremiah 52:27

25From the city he also took an army commander, 7 men who had access to the king whom he found in the city, the scribe who was in charge of the militia, and 60 common people whom he found in the city. 26Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. The king of Babylon executed them at Riblah in the territory of Hamath. So the people of Judah were captives as they left their land. 28These are the people Nebuchadnezzar took captive: In his seventh year as king, he took 3,023 Jews. 29In his eighteenth year, Nebuchadnezzar took 832 people from Jerusalem.

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.
