Kommentar zu Könige II 24:16
וְאֵת֩ כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֨י הַחַ֜יִל שִׁבְעַ֣ת אֲלָפִ֗ים וְהֶחָרָ֤שׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּר֙ אֶ֔לֶף הַכֹּ֕ל גִּבּוֹרִ֖ים עֹשֵׂ֣י מִלְחָמָ֑ה וַיְבִיאֵ֧ם מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֛ל גּוֹלָ֖ה בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Und alle Männer der Macht, sogar siebentausend, und die Handwerker und Schmiede tausend, alle stark und kriegstauglich, selbst sie, der König von Babylon, brachten Gefangene nach Babylon.
Rashi on II Kings
Seven thousand. But above he states, “ten thousand.”12Above, v. 14. The third verse comes to reconcile [the difference], in the Book of Yirmiyohu, ”This is the people whom Nevuchadnetzar exiled in the seventh year, three thousand Jews.”13Yirmiyahu 52:28. The verse there states, “three thousand and twenty-three Jews.” We deduce from here that three thousand were of the tribe of Yehudah and seven thousand were of Binyomin and the other tribes. Also in Seder Olam we learned this.
