Verse 15
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon ,.... Where he continued at least thirty seven years, 2 Kings 25:27 .
and the king's mother ; whose name was Nehushta, 2 Kings 24:8 .
and the king's wives ; for though he was so young, it seems he had many wives, as was the custom of those times; or his "women", who were either his concubines, or servants in his family:
and his officers ; in his court: and the mighty of the land; the princes and nobles thereof; or "the fools of the land", as the word is written; so the people generally were:
those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon ; which, according to Bunting F19 Travels, &c.; p. 198. , were six hundred and eighty miles distant from each other.
