Jeremiah 52:20–34

20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under 1the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was abeyond weight.

21 As for the pillars, the aheight of each pillar was eighteen 1cubits, and 2it was twelve cubits in acircumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow.

22 Now a acapital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and bpomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates.

23 There were ninety-six 1exposed pomegranates; all athe pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.

24 Then the captain of the guard took aSeraiah the chief priest and bZephaniah the second priest, with the three 1cofficers of the temple.

25 He also took from the city one official who was overseer of the men of war, and seven 1of the aking’s advisers who were found in the city, and the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.

26 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and abrought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

27 Then the king of Babylon astruck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was bled away into exile from its land.

28 These are the people whom aNebuchadnezzar carried away into exile: in the 1seventh year 3,023 Jews;

29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar 832 persons from Jerusalem;

30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, aNebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile 745 Jewish people; there were 4,600 persons in all.

31 aNow it came about in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that 1Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, 2bshowed favor to Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.

32 aThen he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

33 So 1Jehoiachin achanged his prison clothes, and 2bhad his meals in 3the king’s presence regularly all the days of his life.

34 For his allowance, a aregular allowance was given him by the king of Babylon, a daily portion all the days of his life until the day of his death.
