Footnotes
The totals here — 3,023 + 832 + 745 = 4,600 — are strikingly small compared to the 10,000 recorded in 2 Kings 24:14. Jeremiah's figures likely enumerate adult male heads of household from specific administrative classes, while 2 Kings counts total persons including women and children. The precision of the numbers insists that these were real individuals — named, counted, irreplaceable — not anonymous statistics. Their exact enumeration is itself a form of honour.
