29in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews.

Jeremiah 52:29 Summary
Jeremiah 52:29 tells us that in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem were taken away. This was a difficult time for the Israelites, but it reminds us that God is always in control, even when things seem uncertain (Psalm 46:1-3). Just like the Israelites, we can trust in God's goodness and wisdom, even when we don't understand what's happening (Proverbs 3:5-6). By looking at this verse, we can see that God is concerned with each individual and that He is sovereign over all nations (Jeremiah 27:5-7).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:29
That was the year when the city was broken up.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:29
(29) Eight hundred thirty and two persons.—The comparatively small number indicates the ravages of the sword, the pestilence, and the famine to which Jeremiah so often refers.
