He seems to have quitted Judea, when he took down the chief people of Jerusalem, to his master at Riblah. 2 Kings 25:18-20. In four years, he again appeared. Jeremiah 52:30. Nebuchadnezzar, in his twenty-third year, made a descent on the regions east of Jordan, including the Ammonites and Moabites, who escaped when Jerusalem was destroyed.
