Commentaries on Jeremiah 52:28

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28On these verses Dr. Blayney has some sensible remarks; I will extract the substance. These verses are not inserted in 2 Kings 25. Are we to conclude from these verses that the whole number of the Jews which Nebuchadnezzar, in all his expeditions, carried away, was no more than four thousand six hundred? This cannot be true; for he carried away more than twice that number at one time and this is expressly said to have been in the eighth year of his reign…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28Seventh year - The suggestion is now generally received, that the word ten has dropped out before seven, and that the deportations mentioned here are all connected with the final war against Zedekiah. The calculation of Nebuchadnezzars reign is different from that used elsewhere, showing that the writer had access to a document not known to the compiler of the Book of Kings. In each date there is a difference of one year. The Septuagint omits Jeremiah…Read the comment
• 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. 28The account in 2 Kings 24:12–14 says this event happened in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighth year. This difference shows two ancient Near Eastern ways of counting a king’s reign. In 2 Kings, the year Nebuchadnezzar became king is considered his first year. Jeremiah seems to count the first full year as Nebuchadnezzar’s first year.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2828. seventh year--in 2Ki 24:12, 14, 16, it is said "the eighth year" of Nebuchadnezzar. No doubt it was in part about the end of the seventh year, in part about the beginning of the eighth. Also in 2Ki 24:1-20, ten thousand (Jr 52:14), and seven thousand men of might, and a thousand craftsmen (Jr 52:16), are said to have been carried away, But here three thousand twenty-three. Probably the latter three thousand twenty-three were of the tribe of Judah, the…Read the comment
