Quick answer
In Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 persons were carried captive from Jerusalem. A second deportation is numbered.
Overview
This count corresponds to the deportation around the fall of Jerusalem, recording another wave of exile. The differing numbering schemes between this chapter and 2 Kings are best understood as counting different groups or moments, not as contradictions. The careful enumeration testifies that God's judgment unfolded in measured, deliberate stages, exactly as His prophets had warned.
