21
And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it, and the thickness thereof was four fingers; it was hollow.
22
And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capitals round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
23
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.
24
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door.
25
He took also out of the city a eunuch who had the charge of the men of war, and seven men from those who were near the king's person who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host who mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.
26
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27
And the king of Babylon smote them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
28
These are the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand Jews and three and twenty;
29
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;
30
in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him forth out of prison;
32
and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33
and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin continually ate bread before him all the days of his life.
34
And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
