The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.

Verse 17 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.
