in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews

on Jeremiah 52:28-30

Three deportations are counted by Nebuchadnezzar’s years: “So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.” This is smaller than the ten thousand of 2 Kings 24:14. Gill and Barnes give two explanations without deciding: a different count of regnal years, or a list of adult men alone.

27-30 ), only there it is said to be done on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, here on the twenty-fifth; but in a thing of this nature two days make a very slight difference in the account. It is probable that the orders were given for his release on the twenty-fifth day, but that he was not presented to the king till the twenty-seventh.
