Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 52:28

28. seventh year—in 2 Kings 24:12; 2 Kings 24:14; 2 Kings 24:16, 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 2 Kings 24:16- :, ten thousand (2 Kings 24:16- :), and seven thousand men of might, and a thousand craftsmen (Jeremiah 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,... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 52:24-30

C. The numbers deported to Babylon 52:24-30The number of exiles who went into captivity was important, because it was on this group that the future of Israel depended. Their deportation also validated many of Jeremiah’s prophecies that predicted the people would go into captivity in Babylon. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 52:28

Nebuchadnezzar carried three groups of Judahites into captivity. In 597 B.C. he deported 3,023 Jews. This number may be only the adult males, or only the adult males from Jerusalem, since in 2 Kings 24:14; 2 Kings 24:16, the number taken is 10,000 or 8,000, respectively. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 52:1-34

Historical Appendix (probably by the compiler of the book)This chapter is substantially the same as Jeremiah 39 (see notes there), but adds particulars relating to the Temple vessels (Jeremiah 52:17.), while omitting Nebuchadnezzar’s charge as to Jeremiah’s safety (Jeremiah 39:11.). Both accounts are probably based on that of 2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:30.1-11. Capture of the city. 12-27. Subsequent severities. 28-30. Nebuchadnezzar’s deportations. 31-34. Concluding notice of Jehoiachin. 4.... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 52:28

(28) This is the people . . .—Here the parallelism with 2 Kings 25:0, which goes on to give a brief summary of the history of Gedaliah and Ishmael, as narrated in Jeremiah 40-43, ceases, and the writer of the appendix goes on to give particulars as to the various stages of the deportation of the captives. It presents some difficulties in detail. (1) The date given here, the “seventh year” of Nebuchadnezzar, does not agree with 2 Kings 24:12, which gives the “eighth year” as the time of the... read more
