Contextual Overview

8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan came to Jerusalem. He was the captain of the soldiers, a servant of the king of Babylon. 9 He burned the house of the Lord, the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire. 10 And all the Babylonian army who were with the captain of the soldiers broke down the walls around Jerusalem. 11 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the soldiers carried away to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city. And he carried away the soldiers who had run away from the battle. 12 But the captain of the soldiers left behind some of the very poor people of the land to take care of the vines and to plow the fields. 13 The Babylonians broke in pieces the brass pillars in the house of the Lord. And they broke in pieces the stands and the brass pool which were in the house of the Lord. Then they carried the brass to Babylon. 14 They took away the pots, the tools for digging, the things for putting out the lamps, the dishes for special perfume, and all the brass dishes used for the work of the Lord's house. 15 And they took away the fire-holders and the wash-pots. The captain of the soldiers took away what was made of fine gold and what was made of fine silver. 16 The brass of the two pillars, the one pool, and the stands which Solomon had made for the Lord's house, was too much to weigh. 17 One pillar was five times taller than a man. The brass top piece on it was three cubits tall. A network and pomegranates made of brass were all around the top piece. And the second pillar had the same, with a network.
