The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Kings. The Babylonians remove and destroy the bronze, silver, and gold vessels of the temple, including elements associated with worship established since Solomon’s days. The chief priests and officials are captured and executed at Riblah. The passage emphasizes the inventory of the objects, making the magnitude of the loss tangible. Not only does the city disappear; the religious and administrative infrastructure sustaining Judah’s life is also dismantled. The judgment announced against Jerusalem reaches its central institutions and leaders.

die zwei Säulen, das Meer und das Gestühle, das Salomo gemacht hatte zum Hause des HERRN. Es war nicht zu wägen das Erz aller dieser Gefäße.
Las dos columnas, un mar, y las basas que Salomón había hecho para la casa de Jehová: no había peso de todos estos vasos.
No se podía pesar el bronce de todos aquellos objetos: las dos columnas, el Mar y los soportes que Salomón había hecho para la casa de Jehová.
Les deux colonnes, la mer, et les bases, que Salomon avait faites pour la maison de l'Eternel, tous ces ustensiles d'airain avaient un poids inconnu.
Quant’è alle due colonne, al mare, ed a’ basamenti, le quali cose Salomone avea fatte per la Casa del Signore, il peso del rame di tutti que’ lavori era senza fine.
As duas colunas, um mar, e as bases, que Salomão fizera para a casa do SENHOR; o cobre de todos estes vasos não tinha peso.
