Contextual Overview

12 In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was also the nineteenth year of King N'vukhadretzar, king of Bavel, N'vuzar'adan, the commander of the guard and a close associate of the king of Bavel, entered Yerushalayim. 13 He burned down the house of Adonai , the royal palace and all the houses in Yerushalayim — every notable person's house he burned to the ground. 14 The whole army of the Kasdim, who were with the commander of the guard, broke down all the walls of Yerushalayim on every side. 15 N'vuzar'adan the commander of the guard then deported some of the poor people, the remaining population of the city, the deserters who had defected to the king of Bavel and the rest of the common people. 16 But N'vuzar'adan the commander of the guard left behind some of the poor people of the land to be vineyard-workers and farmers. 17 The Kasdim smashed the bronze columns of the house of Adonai , also the trolleys and bronze Sea that were in the house of Adonai , and carried their bronze to Bavel. 18 They also took away the pots, shovels, snuffers, basins, pans, and all the bronze articles they had used in worship. 19 The commander of the guard took the cups, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, menorahs, pans and bowls — everything made of gold and everything made of silver. 20 The bronze in the two columns, the one Sea, and the twelve bronze bulls under the bases, all of which Shlomo had made for the house of Adonai , was more than could be weighed. 21 As for the columns, the height of one column was thirty-one-and-a-half feet; it took a twenty-one-foot measuring line to go around it; and its thickness was four fingers — it was hollow.
