Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard arrested them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. The king of Babylon struck them down and killed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah went into exile from the land. These are the people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile: in the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans; in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem; in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took 745 people from Judah into exile. All the people taken into exile numbered 4,600.
