2 Kings 24:15
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. (2 Kings 24:15)
The mighty.
 The chief civil and ecclesiastical functionaries—the princes, eunuchs, nobles, courtiers, elders, priests, prophets, and Levites (see Jer. 29:1, 2).
The king’s wives.
 Evidence that the king must have been more than “eight” years of age (see on v. 8).
The king’s mother.
That she is mentioned first after the king, even before his wives, is indicative of her high rank.
Carried away.
 In fulfillment of the prophecies of Isaiah (2 Kings 20:18; Isa. 39:7), and Jeremiah (Jer. 22:24-30).
