13 aThe bronze bpillars that were in the house of the Lord, and cthe carts and dthe bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and ecarried their bronze to Babylon.
14 They also took away athe pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered.
15 The firepans and the basins, the things of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 The two pillars, one Sea, and the carts, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord, athe bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.
