leading men, nobles — prominent or mighty leaders
This term appears in the Ketiv of 2 Kings 24:15, describing Nebuchadnezzar's deportation of 'the leading men of the land' from Jerusalem to Babylon. The Qere reading substitutes 'rams' (metaphorically for leaders), but the Ketiv's 'leading men' or 'nobles' is straightforward. The context depicts the systematic stripping of Judah's elite — royalty, officials, warriors, craftsmen — leaving only the poorest to prevent rebellion. This exile of leadership ensured political paralysis.
