¹³ Now^(A) the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars^(B) of the Lord’s temple, the water carts, and the bronze basin,^[a](C) which were in the Lord’s temple, and carried the bronze to Babylon.^{(D) 14} They also took the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the bronze articles used in the priests’ service.^{(E) 15} The captain of the guards took away the firepans and sprinkling basins – whatever was gold or silver.^(F)

The capital, encircled by a grating and pomegranates of bronze, stood 1.35 metres^[c] high. The second pillar was the same, with its own grating.^(H)
