2 Kings 25:9-17
9He burned downH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the royalH4428 palaceH1004, and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389—everyH3605 significantH1419 buildingH1004. 10And the wholeH3605 armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 underH834 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 broke downH5422 the wallsH2346 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried into exileH1540 the peopleH3499H5971 who remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, along withH853 the desertersH5307 whoH834 had defectedH5307 toH5921 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and the restH3499 of the populationH1995. 12But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 left behindH7604 some of the poorestH1803 of the landH776 to tend the vineyardsH3755 and fieldsH3009.
13MoreoverH853, the ChaldeansH3778 broke upH7665 the bronzeH5178 pillarsH5982 andH853 standsH4350 and the bronzeH5178 SeaH3220 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and they carriedH5375 the bronzeH5178 to BabylonH894. 14They alsoH853 took awayH3947 the potsH5518, shovelsH3257, wick trimmersH4212, dishesH3709, and allH3605 the articlesH3627 of bronzeH5178 used in the temple serviceH8334. 15The captainH7227 of the guardH2876 also took awayH3947 the censersH4289 and sprinkling bowlsH4219—anythingH834 made of pure goldH2091 or fine silverH3701.
16As for the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, theH259 SeaH3220, and the movable standsH4350 thatH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068H3808H1961, the weight of the bronzeH5178 from allH3605 theseH428 articlesH3627 was beyond measureH4948. 17EachH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083H6240 cubitsH520 tallH6967.1 The bronzeH5178 capitalH3805 atopH5921 one pillar was threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967,2 with a networkH7639H3805 of bronzeH5178 pomegranatesH7416 allH3605 aroundH5439. The secondH8145H5921 pillarH5982, with its networkH7639, was similarH428.
