Commentary on Jeremiah 52:24

The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest (שְׂרָיָה כֹּהֵן הָרֹאשׁ)—Seraiah, great-grandson of Hilkiah who found the Law under Josiah (2 Kings 22:8), now captured. His lineage continued through Ezra (Ezra 7:1). Zephaniah the second priest (צְפַנְיָה כֹּהֵן הַמִּשְׁנֶה) served as deputy high priest.The three keepers of the door (שֹׁמְרֵי הַסַּף) guarded the Temple threshold—sacred guardians now prisoners. The religious leadership, who should have led covenant faithfulness, are taken first for judgment. Leadership bears greater accountability (James 3:1).
