Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 25:11

"And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive." — 2 Kings 25:11 (ASV)

The fugitives that fell away —that is, the deserters. (Jeremiah 37:13 and following, Jeremiah 38:2; Jeremiah 38:4; Jeremiah 38:17; Jeremiah 38:19.)

The multitude. —Probably the rank and file of the fighting-men (Judges 4:7). The word is hâmôn, strictly a shouting throng. (The Syriac has “the rest of the army.”)Jeremiah 52:15, spells the word with the light breathing (‘âniôn —either a dialectic use, or a mistake, not a distinct word).
