121Now on the tenthH6218 day of the fifthH2549 monthH2320, whichH1931 was the 2nineteenthH8672H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, 3NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardH2876, 4who was in the serviceH5975H6440 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 13He 5burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the 6king’sH4428 houseH1004 and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; even everyH3605 largeH1419 houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784. 14So allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 7brokeH5422 downH5422 allH3605 the wallsH2346 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389. 15Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 8carriedH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 someH4480 of the poorestH1803 of the peopleH5971, the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, the 910desertersH5307 whoH834 had desertedH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and the restH3499 of the artisansH525. 16But 11NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 someH4480 of the poorestH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and 12plowmenH3009.

17Now the bronzeH5178 13pillarsH5982 whichH834 belonged to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the 14standsH4350 and the bronzeH5178 15seaH3220, whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the ChaldeansH3778 brokeH7665 in piecesH7665 and carriedH5375 allH3605 their bronzeH5178 to BabylonH894. 18They also tookH3947 away the 16potsH5518, the shovelsH3257, the snuffersH4212, the basinsH4219, the 17pansH3709 and allH3605 the bronzeH5178 vesselsH3627 whichH834 were usedH8334 in temple serviceH8334. 19The captainH7227 of the guardH2876 also tookH3947 away the 18bowlsH5592, the firepansH4289, the basinsH4219, the potsH5518, the lampstandsH4501, the 19pansH3709 and the drinkH4518 offeringH4518 bowlsH4518, whatH834 was fineH3701 goldH2091 and whatH834 was fineH3701 silverH3701. 20The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, the oneH259 seaH3220, and the twelveH8147H6240 bronzeH5178 bullsH1241 that were underH8478 20the seaH3220, and the standsH4350, whichH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068--the bronzeH5178 of allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627 was 21beyondH3808 weightH4948. 21As for the pillarsH5982, the 22heightH6967 of eachH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083H6240 23cubitsH520, and 24it was twelveH8147H6240 cubitsH520 in 25circumferenceH5437H2339 and fourH702 fingersH676 in thicknessH5672, and hollowH5014. 22Now a 26capitalH3805 of bronzeH5178 was on it; and the heightH6967 of eachH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, with networkH7639 and 27pomegranatesH7416 upon the capitalH3805 allH5439 aroundH5439, allH3605 of bronzeH5178.
