in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year
This phrase situates the event in a specific historical context, referring to the eighteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar II's reign. Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, a powerful empire that played a significant role in the history of Israel and Judah. His reign is well-documented both in the Bible and in extra-biblical sources, such as the Babylonian Chronicles. The eighteenth year corresponds to approximately 587/586 BC, a pivotal time when Jerusalem was besieged and eventually destroyed. This historical context underscores the fulfillment of prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets about the consequences of Judah's disobedience to God.

832 people from Jerusalem
This specific number highlights the precision of the biblical record and the gravity of the exile. The deportation of 832 people from Jerusalem represents a significant portion of the population, indicating the severity of the Babylonian conquest and the fulfillment of God's judgment upon Judah for their persistent idolatry and rebellion. The mention of Jerusalem, the city of David and the location of the Temple, emphasizes the loss and devastation experienced by the people of Judah. This deportation is part of a series of exiles that stripped the land of its leaders, skilled workers, and many inhabitants, leaving behind a remnant. Theologically, this event serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, yet it also sets the stage for future restoration and hope, as prophesied by Jeremiah and realized in the return from exile under Persian rule.

(29) Eight hundred thirty and two persons.--The comparatively small number indicates the ravages of the sword, the pestilence, and the famine to which Jeremiah so often refers. The captives were probably the scanty remnant of the defenders of the city, and the deportation that by Nebuzar-adan narrated in Jeremiah 52:15.
