Nebuzaradan - "The captain of the guard," in rank next to the king, who appears prominent in directing affairs at the capture of Jerusalem (2 Kings 25:8; Jeremiah 39:11; Jeremiah 40:2). He showed kindness toward Jeremiah, as commanded by Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 40:1). Five years after this he again came to Jerusalem and carried captive seven hundred and forty-five more Jews.
