11Then 1the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the cityH5892 and the desertersH5307 whoH834 had desertedH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carriedH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540. 12But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 someH4480 of 2the poorestH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and plowmenH3009.
133Now the bronzeH5178 pillarsH5982 whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the standsH4350 and 4the bronzeH5178 seaH3220 whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the ChaldeansH3778 brokeH7665 in piecesH7665 and carriedH5375 the 5bronzeH5178 to BabylonH894. 146They tookH3947 away the potsH5518, the shovelsH3257, the snuffersH4212, the spoonsH3709, and allH3605 the bronzeH5178 vesselsH3627 whichH834 were usedH8334 in temple serviceH8334. 15The captainH7227 of the guardH2876 also tookH3947 away the firepansH4289 and the basinsH4219, whatH834 was fineH3701 goldH2091 and whatH834 was fineH3701 silverH3701. 16The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, the oneH259 seaH3220, and the standsH4350 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068--7the bronzeH5178 of allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627 was beyondH3808 weightH4948. 178The heightH6967 of the oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083H6240 9cubitsH520, and a bronzeH5178 capitalH3805 was on it; the heightH6967 of the capitalH3805 was threeH7969 10cubitsH520, with a networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 on the capitalH3805 allH5439 aroundH5439, allH3605 of bronzeH5178. And the secondH8145 pillarH5982 was like theseH428 with networkH7639.
18Then the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 11SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 and 12ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, with the threeH7969 13officersH8104 of the templeH5592. 19From the cityH5892 he tookH3947 oneH259 officialH5631 whoH834 was overseerH6496 of the menH376 of warH4421, and 14fiveH2568 15of the king’sH4428 advisersH582H7200 whoH834 were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the 16scribeH5613 of the captainH8269 of the armyH6635 who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and sixtyH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 who were foundH4672 in the cityH5892. 20NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them and broughtH1980 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 17RiblahH7247. 21Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 struckH5221 them down and putH4191 them to deathH4191 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574. 18So JudahH3063 was ledH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 from its landH127.
