In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar,.... In this year of his reign, the Jews say (m), 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.
(m) Seder Olam Rabba, c. 26. p. 77.

Not recorded in Kings or Chronicles. Probably it took place during the commotions that followed the death of Gedaliah (Jeremiah 41:18; 2-Kings 25:26).
four thousand and six hundred--The exact sum-total of the numbers specified here, namely, three thousand twenty-three, eight hundred thirty-two, seven hundred forty-five, not including the general multitude and the women and children (Jeremiah 52:15; Jeremiah 39:9; 2-Kings 25:11).

All the persons were four thousand and six hundred - How amazingly were the Jews diminished, that this handful was all who were carried captive!
