(chief whom Nebo favors), The Rab-tabbachim i.e. chief
of the slaughterers (Authorized Version "captain of the guard"), a high officer
in the court of Nebuchadnezzar. On the capture of Jerusalem he was left by Nebuchadnezzar
in charge of the city. Comp. ( Jeremiah 39:11 ) He seems to have quitted Judea
when he took down the chief people of Jerusalem to his master at Riblah. ( 2 Kings

in his twenty-third year made a descent on the regions east of Jordan, including
the Ammonites and Moabites, who escaped when Jerusalem was destroyed. Thence he
proceeded to Egypt, and, either on the way thither or on the return, Nebuzaradan
again passed through the country and carried off more captives. ( Jeremiah 52:30
