John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 24:15

"And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king`s mother, and the king`s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon." — 2 Kings 24:15 (ASV)

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 , were six hundred and eighty miles distant from each other.
