Jeremiah 40:9

to serve the Chaldeans The LXX here have "because of the servants of the Chaldaeans," i.e. the officers placed here and there through the land by the conquerors. This agrees with MT. in 2 Kings 25:24, but probably the original reading of the Hebrew in both places (lost through confusing two very similar consonants) is that preserved by LXX in Kgs, viz. the passing through of the Chaldaeans, i.e. the danger arising from the frequent passage of Babylonian forces in military operations, such as attacks on Egypt.
