Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 52:29

"in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;" — Jeremiah 52:29 (ASV)

Eight hundred thirty and two persons. —The comparatively small number indicates the ravages of the sword, the pestilence, and the famine to which Jeremiah so often refers. The captives were probably the scanty remnant of the defenders of the city, and the deportation by Nebuzar-adan, narrated in Jeremiah 52:15.
