In the (n) eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
(n) To the latter end also of that year, and the beginning of the nineteenth.

In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar,.... Said to be the nineteenth, Jeremiah 52:12; it was at the end of the eighteenth, and the beginning of the nineteenth, as Kimchi; or this was before the taking of the city, when he raised the siege, and departed to meet the king of Egypt, at which time he might carry captive many, as here said:
he carried away captive from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons; which is more likely to be then done than at the taking of the city; when it is very probable a greater number was carried captive, which are not here taken notice of.

eighteenth year--when Jerusalem was taken. But in Jeremiah 52:15, and 2-Kings 25:8, "the nineteenth year." Probably it was at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth [LYRA].
eight hundred and thirty and two--The most illustrious persons are meant, who no doubt were carried away first, at the end of the eighteenth year.
