Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty
on Jeremiah 52:28-30
Three deportations are counted by regnal year, 3,023 in the seventh year, 832 in the eighteenth, 745 in the twenty-third, a total of 4,600, a smaller figure than 2 Kings 24:14's 10,000 for the earlier deportation under Jehoiachin. The commentators hold the difference open rather than resolving it: some read a different regnal-year reckoning, an accession-year count here shifting the numbering against Kings, others read this list as counting adult males alone against a broader figure there; the text itself does not choose between them. Either way the number is strikingly small measured against the size of the catastrophe, a whole nation's fall counted in a few thousand names.

eighteenth year--when Jerusalem was taken. But in Jer 52:15, and 2Ki 25:8, "the nineteenth year." Probably it was at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth [LYRA]. eight hundred and thirty and two--The most illustrious persons are meant, who no doubt were carried away first, at the end of the eighteenth year.
