Jeremiah52:24
24 ¶ And the captain of the guard took Soraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door .
See the notes on 2 Kings 25.18. where we have the same words. This Seraiah was not he mentioned chapter 51.59. but the son of Azariah, 1 Chron. 6.14. By the second Priest, Interpreters understand him that supplied the place of the High Priest in case he were sick, &c. he that was sent by Zedekiah to the Prophet, chapter 21.1. and whom Shemaiah chode by his Letters chapter 29.25. for not setting Ieremiah in the Stocks. It is probable there were more keepers of the door, but the Captain of the Guard took onely three of the Principal.
