Jeremias 52:25
He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king's person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- et de civitate tulit eunuchum unum, qui erat præpositus super viros bellatores : et septem viros de his qui videbant faciem regis, qui inventi sunt in civitate : et scribam principem militum, qui probabat tyrones : et sexaginta viros de populo terræ, qui inventi sunt in medio civitatis.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα ὃς ἦν ἐπιστάτης ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν, καὶ ἑπτὰ ἄνδρας ὀνομαστοὺς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ τὸν γραμματέα τῶν δυνάμεων τὸν γραμματεύοντα τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἀνθρώπους ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν μέσῳ τῆς πόλεως.

Haydock's commentary
Seven: 4 Kings has five. But this seems more correct, as seven were commonly employed, Esther i. 10., and Tobias xii. 15. (Calmet)
Two might be taken later. (Haydock)
A scribe. St. Jerome has Sopher, (4 Kings) as if it were a proper name, and not an office.
