from the city he took an officer who had been in command of the soldiers, and five men of the king's council who were found in the city; the secretary who was the commander of the army; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city — Nebuzaradan arrests military officers, royal advisors, the military secretary, and sixty additional persons from the populace.
