15 Thus he took Je·hoiʹa·chin+ into exile to Babylon;+ he also led away the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his court officials, and the foremost men of the land, taking them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16 The king of Babylon also took into exile to Babylon all the warriors, 7,000, as well as 1,000 craftsmen and metalworkers,* all of them mighty men and trained for war.

24 Then Jehovah showed me two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah, after King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon had carried into exile Jec·o·niʹah*+ son of Je·hoiʹa·kim,+ the king of Judah, along with the princes of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metalworkers;* he took them from Jerusalem to Babylon.+
