Context of 2 Kings 25:14
12But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and field hands. 13Now the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars that were in the House of Adonai, the stands and the bronze sea that were in the House of Adonai, and carried their bronze away to Babylon. They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the pans and all the bronze vessels that were used in Temple service. 15The captain of the guard took away the fire pans and the basins—whatever was gold or silver. 16The two pillars, the one sea, and the stands which Solomon had made for the House of Adonai—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.

In attempting to reconcile these two passages, it must be supposed either that, though he had set out on the seventh, he did not arrive in Jerusalem till the tenth, or that he did not put his orders in execution till that day.
