Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest
on Jeremiah 52:24-27
Leadership itself is carried off and executed, the chief priest and the second priest, the door-keepers, the eunuch who commanded the men of war, seven of the king's own counselors, the scribe who mustered the land's troops, and sixty men of the people, all put to death together at Riblah. The summary line closes the account, thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land, the same sentence Kings gives at the parallel point in its own history. Nothing distinguishes rank here, priest and scribe and counselor share one execution and one verse.

So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them,.... In the city, and made them captives: and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah; to knew his mind concerning them; how they should be disposed of; and for him to pass sentence on them: as he had done on the king of Judah, his sons, and his princes, in the same place.
