10. The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11. He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
12. Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
13. He burnt the Lord’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
14. All the army of the Kasdim, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
15. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
16. But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17. The Kasdim broke the pillars of bronze that were in the Lord’s house, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the Lord’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.
18. They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
19. The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
20. They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the Lord’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
21. As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
22. A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.
23. There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24. The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
25. and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
