2 Kings 25:19 NKJV - "He also took out of the city an officer who had charge of the men of war, five men of the king'sclose associates who were found in the city, the chief recruiting officer of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land [who were] found in the city."
Jeremiah 52:25 NKJV - "He also took out of the city an officer who had charge of the men of war, seven men of the king's close associates who were found in the city, the principal scribe of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city."
