which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem with the,captives which/who carried_away with Jeconiah king Yehuda which/who carried_away Nebukadnetstsar king Bāⱱelh

The story now tells about something that happened many years before. This is background information that explains how this Jewish family came to live in Susa. You can introduce this by saying something like, “Many years earlier.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָגְלָה֙ מִ⁠יר֣וּשָׁלַ֔יִם

which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had taken Kish away from Jerusalem along with some other captives”

Note 3 topic: writing-background

אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָגְלָה֙ מִ⁠יר֣וּשָׁלַ֔יִם

which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem
