But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah; 6. [Even] men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7. So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they [even] to Tahpanhes.

Commentary on Jeremiah 43:5

Theological / Devotional

Took all the remnant. This included Jeremiah and Baruch, (v. 6).

Returned from all nations. A reference to the fugitives from Moab, Ammon, or Edom (ch. 40:11), whose inclusion in this emigration meant that practically the whole of Judea would be left unpopulated.
