2 Kings 25:9-17

9And 1he 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 bodyguards 3tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 11Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguards, led into exile 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 5people. 12But the captain of the bodyguards left some of 6the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.

137Now the Chaldeans smashed to pieces the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and 8the bronze 9Sea which were in the house of the Lord, and carried the 10bronze to Babylon. 1411And they took away the pots, the shovels, the 12shears, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils 13which were used in temple service. 15The captain of the bodyguards 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--1415the bronze of all these articles was too heavy to weigh. 1716The height of the one pillar was 17eighteen cubits, and a bronze capital was on it; the height of the capital was 18three cubits, with latticework and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, same features with latticework.
