8
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9
He burned the house of the Lord and the king's house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great, he burned with fire.
10
And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who remained in the city and the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the multitude.
12
But the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers.
13
The bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried their bronze to Babylon.
14
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered.
15
The firepans and the basins, the things of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16
The two pillars, one Sea, and the carts, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord, the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.
17
The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital on it was of bronze. The height of the capital was three cubits, and the network and pomegranates all around the capital were all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with a network.
18
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
