17And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the bronze Sea that was in the house of Yahweh, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.

18They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the dishes, and all the bronze vessels with which they ministered.

19And the bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the cups, and the vessels for pouring—whatever was gold, gold, and whatever was silver, silver—the captain of the guard took.

20As for the two pillars, the one Sea, and the twelve bronze oxen that were under the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh—there was no weighing the bronze of all these vessels.

21As for the pillars, the height of each pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits would go around it; its thickness was four fingers, and it was hollow.

22And on it was a bronze capital, and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with latticework and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar had the same, with pomegranates.

23There were ninety-six pomegranates toward the outside; all the pomegranates on the lattice all around were one hundred.
