81Now on the seventhH7651 day of the 2fifthH2549 monthH2320, whichH1931 was the nineteenthH8672H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 93He burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, 4the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; even everyH3605 greatH1419 houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784. 10So allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 5brokeH5422 downH5422 the wallsH2346 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389. 11Then 6the 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 7the poorestH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and plowmenH3009.
138Now the bronzeH5178 pillarsH5982 whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the standsH4350 and 9the bronzeH5178 seaH3220 whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the ChaldeansH3778 brokeH7665 in piecesH7665 and carriedH5375 the 10bronzeH5178 to BabylonH894. 1411They 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--12the bronzeH5178 of allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627 was beyondH3808 weightH4948. 1713The heightH6967 of the oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083H6240 14cubitsH520, and a bronzeH5178 capitalH3805 was on it; the heightH6967 of the capitalH3805 was threeH7969 15cubitsH520, 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 16SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 and 17ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, with the threeH7969 18officersH8104 of the templeH5592. 19From the cityH5892 he tookH3947 oneH259 officialH5631 whoH834 was overseerH6496 of the menH376 of warH4421, and 19fiveH2568 20of the king’sH4428 advisersH582H7200 whoH834 were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the 21scribeH5613 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 22RiblahH7247.
