2 Kings 25:16 In-Context

14 They also took the pots, the shovels, the wick trimmers, the dishes, and all the bronze items that had been used in the temple.

15 The commander of the guard took the fire pans and the sprinkling bowls, which were made of pure gold and pure silver.

16 The bronze in all these objects—the two pillars, the Sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the LORD's temple—was too heavy to weigh.

17 Each pillar was twenty-seven feet high. The bronze capital on top of the first pillar was four and a half feet high. Decorative lattices and pomegranates, all made from bronze, were around the capital. And the second pillar was decorated with lattices just like the first.

18 The commander of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest next in rank, and the three doorkeepers.
