So (B)the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. 13 (C)He carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house, and (D)cut in pieces all the vessels of gold (E)which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, just as the Lord had said. 14 Then (F)he led away into exile all Jerusalem and all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, (G)ten thousand captives, and (H)all the craftsmen and the smiths.
