17 And the ^apillars of bronze that were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and the ^bbronze sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and ^ccarried all the bronze to Babylon. 18 And they took away ^dthe pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the basins and the dishes for incense and all the vessels of bronze used in the temple service; 19 ^ealso the small bowls and the fire pans and the basins and the pots and ^fthe lampstands and ^gthe dishes for incense ^hand the bowls for drink offerings. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver. 20 As for the two pillars, the one sea, ⁱthe twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, ^{▼
