2 Kings 25:11-21
11Then 1the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the people, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away into exile. 12But the captain of the guard left some of 2the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.
133Now the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and 4the bronze sea which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried the 5bronze to Babylon. 146They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service. 15The captain of the guard also took away the firepans and the basins, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 16The two pillars, the one sea, and the stands which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord--7the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight. 178The height of the one pillar was eighteen 9cubits, and a bronze capital was on it; the height of the capital was three 10cubits, with a network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these with network.
18Then the captain of the guard took 11Seraiah the chief priest and 12Zephaniah the second priest, with the three 13officers of the temple. 19From the city he took one official who was overseer of the men of war, and 14five 15of the king’s advisers who were found in the city; and the 16scribe of the captain of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city. 20Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at 17Riblah. 21Then the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. 18So Judah was led away into exile from its land.
