12:025:013 And the pillars of brass that were in the
house of the lord,
and
the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house
of the
lord,
did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass
of
them to Babylon.
12:025:014 And the pots, and the shovels, and the
snuffers, and the
spoons,
and all the vessels of brass wherewith they
ministered,
took they away.
12:025:015 And the firepans, and the bowls, and such
things as were of
gold,
in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the
guard
took away.
12:025:016 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases
which Solomon had made
for
the house of the lord; the brass of all these
vessels was
without
weight.
12:025:017 The height of the one pillar was eighteen
cubits, and the
chapiter
upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter
three
cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon
the
chapiter
round about, all of brass: and like unto these
had
the
second pillar with wreathen work.
12:025:018 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah
the chief priest,
and
Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers
of the
door:
12:025:019 And out of the city he took an officer
that was set over the
men
of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s
presence,
which were found in the city, and the principal
scribe
of the host, which mustered the people of the land,
and
threescore
men of the people of the land that were found in
the
city:
12:025:020 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took
these, and brought
them
to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
12:025:021 And the king of Babylon smote them, and
slew them at Riblah in
the
land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out
of their
land.
12:025:022 And as for the people that remained in
the land of Judah, whom
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had left, even over them he
made
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
12:025:023 And when all the captains of the armies,
they and their men,
heard
that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor,
there
came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah,
and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son
of
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of
a
Maachathite,
they and their men.
12:025:024 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their
men, and said unto
them,
Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell
in
the
land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be
well
with
you.
