SCRIPTURE

"in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred." — Jeremiah 52:30 (ASV)

In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar
In this year of his reign, the Jews say F13 , Tyre was delivered into his hands; and he carried off the Jews in Moab, Ammon, and the neighbouring nations, to the number after mentioned; though some think these were the poor people of the land he took from thence, after the murder of Gedaliah, and in revenge of that:

Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven
hundred forty and five persons ;
all which being put together make the following sum:

all the persons [were] four thousand and six hundred ;
this is the sum total of the three mentioned captivities.
