His role was significant in the Babylonian military hierarchy, and he was entrusted with executing King Nebuchadnezzar's orders. This title indicates his authority and responsibility in overseeing the capture and deportation of the people of Judah. Historically, the Babylonians were known for their military prowess and administrative efficiency, which is reflected in Nebuzaradan's position.carried away to Babylon The act of carrying away the people to Babylon was part of the Babylonian exile, a pivotal event in Jewish history. This deportation fulfilled the prophecies of Jeremiah and other prophets who warned of the consequences of Judah's disobedience to God. Babylon, located in modern-day Iraq, was the center of the Babylonian Empire and a place of exile for the Jewish people. This event marked a significant shift in the Jewish experience, leading to a period of reflection and transformation.the remnant of the people who had remained in the city The "remnant" refers to those who survived the siege of Jerusalem. This group included the poor and those who had not been killed or fled during the Babylonian attack. The concept of a remnant is a recurring theme in the Bible, often symbolizing hope and the continuation of God's covenant with His people. Despite the destruction, God preserved a remnant to ensure the survival and eventual restoration of Israel.along with the deserters who had defected to him The deserters were those who had chosen to surrender to the Babylonians, possibly seeking safety or favor. This act of defection was seen as a betrayal by some, but it also fulfilled Jeremiah's counsel to surrender to the Babylonians to preserve life (<a href="/jeremiah/21-9.htm">Jeremiah 21:9</a>). This phrase highlights the complex decisions faced by the people of Judah during the siege and the varying responses to the prophetic warnings. The inclusion of deserters in the deportation underscores the comprehensive nature of the Babylonian captivity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/n/nebuzaradan.htm">Nebuzaradan</a> The captain of the guard for the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar.

The name has been interpreted as "the prince-lord, or the worshipper, of Nebo," but the etymology of the last three syllables is uncertain, He does not appear as taking part with the other generals in the siege of Jerusalem, but comes on the capture of the city, arriving a month afterwards (<a href="/jeremiah/52-12.htm" title="Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,">Jeremiah 52:12</a>) to direct, even in its minute details, the work of destruction (<a href="/2_kings/25-9.htm" title="And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.">2Kings 25:9</a>). The defenders and deserters were involved in the same doom of exile. It need scarcely be said that, as in the case of the conquests of Tiglath-pileser (<a href="/2_kings/15-29.htm" title="In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.">2Kings 15:29</a>), Shalmaneser (<a href="/2_kings/17-6.htm" title="In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.">2Kings 17:6</a>), Esar-haddon (<a href="/2_kings/17-24.htm" title="And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelled in the cities thereof.">2Kings 17:24</a>), and Sennacherib (<a href="/2_kings/18-32.htm" title="Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that you may live, and not die: and listen not to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.">2Kings 18:32</a>), this wholesale deportation was part of the systematic policy of the great Assyrian and Babylonian monarchs. So Darius carried off the Paeonians from Thrace (Herod. v. 14). To distribute the lands of the exiles thus dispossessed among "the poor of the people," was, it was thought, likely to enlist their interests on the side of the conqueror; and, by keeping up the cultivation of the soil, secured the payment of tribute. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/39.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 9. - Nebuzar-adan;
