SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:16
A todos los hombres de guerra, que fueron siete mil, y a los oficiales y herreros, que fueron mil, y a todos los valientes que hacían la guerra, llevó cautivos el rey de Babilonia.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And all the men of might, even seven thousand , etc.] The particulars of the 10,000 carried captive are here given; 7000 of which were the principal men of the land: and craftsmen and smiths one thousand ; which made 8000: all that were strong, and apt for war ; of these consisted the other 2000; so Abarbinel reckons them; but, according to the Jewish chronologer f311 , which Jarchi and other Jewish commentators follow, the 7000 were out of the tribe of Benjamin and the rest of the tribes, and the 3000 out of the tribe of Judah, which are supposed to be those Jeremiah speaks of, ( Jeremiah 52:28), even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon ; among these were Ezekiel the prophet, and Mordecai, the uncle of Esther.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-20 - Jehoiachin reigned but three months, yet long enough to show that he justly smarted for his fathers' sins, for he trod in their steps. Hi uncle was intrusted with the government. This Zedekiah was the last of the kings of Judah. Though the judgments of God upon the three king before him might have warned him, he did that which was evil, lik them. When those intrusted with the counsels of a nation act unwisely and against their true interest, we ought to notice the displeasure of God in it. It is for the sins of a people that God hides from them the things that belong to the public peace. And in fulfilling the secre purposes of his justice, the Lord needs only leave men to the blindnes of their own minds, or to the lusts of their own hearts. The gradua approach of Divine judgments affords sinners space for repentance, an believers leisure to prepare for meeting the calamity, while it show the obstinacy of those who will not forsake their sins __________________________________________________________________
