¹⁰ And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard ^(A)broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.

³ And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the ^(A)province are there in great distress and ^(B)reproach. ^(C)The wall of Jerusalem ^(D)is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”

¹⁴ And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around. ^15 (A)Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poor people, the rest of the people who remained in the city, the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen. ¹⁶ But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers.

^17 (B)The ^(C)bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon. ¹⁸ They also took away ^(D)the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the ^[a]bowls, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered. ¹⁹ The basins, the firepans, the bowls, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the cups, whatever was solid gold and whatever was solid silver, the captain of the guard took away. ²⁰ The two pillars, one Sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under it, and the carts, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—^(E)the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure. ²¹ Now concerning the ^(F)pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen ^[b]cubits, a measuring line of twelve cubits could measure its circumference, and its thickness was ^[c]four fingers; it was hollow. ²² A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with a network and pomegranates all around the capital, all of bronze. The second pillar, with pomegranates was the same. ²³ There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; ^(G)all the pomegranates, all around on the network, were one hundred.

^8 (A)And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with ^(B)fire, and broke down the ^(C)walls of Jerusalem.
