Jeremiah 52:12-24

12Now in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month—which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard came into Jerusalem to represent the king of Babylon.

13Then he burned the House of Adonai, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every large house with fire.

14Then all the Chaldean army, which was with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon, and what remained of the craftsmen.

16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

17The Chaldeans smashed the bronze pillars of the House of Adonai, the stands and the bronze sea that were in the House of Adonai, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.

18The pots, the shovels, the wick trimmers, the basins, the pans, and all the bronze articles for Temple service, they also took away.

19The cups, the fire-pans, the basins, the pots, the menorot, the pans, and the drink offering bowls—whatever was gold or silver—the captain of the guard took away.

20As for the two pillars, one sea, and twelve bronze bulls that were under the stands that King Solomon had made for the House of Adonai—all these articles had bronze beyond weighing.

21The height of one pillar was 18 cubits and it was twelve cubits in circumference and four fingers in its thickness—it was hollow.

22There was a bronze capital on it—the height of one capital was five cubits, with latticework and pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with pomegranates.

23There were 96 pomegranates on the outside; including all the pomegranates around the lattice, there were 100.

24Then the captain of the guard took Seraiah the kohen gadol , and Zephaniah the second kohen, and the three doorkeepers.
