Contextual Overview

8Now on the seventh day of the fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9And he burned the house of Yahweh, the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire. 10So all the military force of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 11Then the rest of the people who were left in the city and the defectors who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took away into exile. 12But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen. 13Now the bronze pillars which were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea which were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans shattered and carried the bronze to Babylon. 14They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the bronze vessels which were used to minister. 15The captain of the guard also took away the firepans and the bowls, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 16The two pillars, the one sea, and the stands which Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight. 17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a bronze capital was on it; the height of the capital was three cubits, with a network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these with network.
