2 Kings 25:8–20

⁸And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servant of the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem; ⁹and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great man’s house he burned with fire. ¹⁰And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the body-guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about. ¹¹And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. ¹²But the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and husbandmen. ¹³And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass thereof to Babylon. ¹⁴The cauldrons also and the shovels and the knives and the cups, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, they took away. ¹⁵And the censers and the bowls, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away. ¹⁶The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight. ¹⁷The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the capital three cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass: and similarly for the second pillar with the network. ¹⁸And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the high priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers. ¹⁹And out of the city he took a chamberlain that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city. ²⁰And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
