1. Captivity and the people carried away · dominant

   The construct forms attach captivity to named persons or communities: in Ezekiel 1:2 the APB renders the date as the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s “exile,” and in Jeremiah 28:4 it describes all the captivity of Judah who came to Babylon. The same use can identify displaced groups, as Jeremiah 24:5 speaks of Judah’s exiles sent to the land of the Chaldeans, while Isaiah 20:4 describes the captivity of Egypt and Cush being led away.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the surrounding clauses with “captivity,” “exile,” “exiles,” and “captives,” including people being “taken into exile to Babylon.” These variations show the verses’ presentation rather than fixed English equivalents for the term.
