4,600 TAKEN!
Jeremiah 52:
4,600 who had seen their homes and city broken and their worship centre vandalised.
It need not have happened but it did.
V17-23 is the inventory of what was stolen. Everything that summarised their past blessings from God, taken.
Make a list: what has satan stolen from you?
They were taken from a land that they had possessed for nearly 860 years.
There is no weeping, that remains for the next book in the Bible. It is just the detail.
A gathered people became a scattered one.
They took the land by faith.
They lost it by idolatry.
They wanted to be like other nations.
They wanted to be anyone other than who God had created.
So they lost it all.
He gives and takes away.
