2 Kings 25:8–21

And in the pfifth month, on the qseventh day of the month, which is rthe nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, ||captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: And she burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and tall the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire. 10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were uwith the captain of the guard, wbrake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 11 Now xthe rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away. 12 But the captain of the guard left yof the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 13 zAnd athe pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and bthe bases, and cthe brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon. 14 And dthe pots, and dthe shovels, and ethe snuffers, and fthe spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. 15 And dthe firepans, and dthe bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away. 16 gThe two pillars, one sea, and hthe bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord; ithe brass of all these vessels was without weight. 17 kThe height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter lthree cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work. 18 And the captain of the guard took mSeraiah nthe chief priest, and oZephaniah pthe second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 19 And out of the city he took an ||officer that was set over the men of war, and qfive men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the ||principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city: 20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to rRiblah: 21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at rRiblah in the land of Hamath. sSo Judah was carried away out of their land.
