2 Kings 25:9-17

91He burned the house of the Lord, 2the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire. 10So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard 3broke down the walls around Jerusalem. 11Then 4the 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 5the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

136Now the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and 7the bronze sea which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried the 8bronze to Babylon. 149They 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--10the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight. 1711The height of the one pillar was eighteen 12cubits, and a bronze capital was on it; the height of the capital was three 13cubits, with a network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these with network.
