052:012 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month,
which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar,
king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard,
who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
052:013 and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king's house;
and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house,
burned he with fire.
052:014 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of
the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
052:015 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive
of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people
who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell
to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
052:016 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest
of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
052:017 The pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh,
and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh,
did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass
of them to Babylon.
052:018 The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins,
and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which
they ministered, took they away.
052:019 The cups, and the fire pans, and the basins, and the pots,
and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the bowls--
that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver,
in silver,--the captain of the guard took away.
052:020 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls
that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made
for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels
was without weight.
052:021 As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was
eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it;
and the thickness of it was four fingers: it was hollow.
052:022 A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital
was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital
round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had
like these, and pomegranates.
052:023 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the
pomegranates were one hundred on the network round about.
052:024 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest,
and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers
of the threshold:
052:025 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men
of war; and seven men of those who saw the king's face,
who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain
of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty
men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst
