It was hollow, its walls were four fingers thick, and a measuring cord twelve cubits long could encircle it. 22 The bronze capital on each pillar was five cubits high, decorated with a lattice of bronze network and pomegranates all around. Both pillars were the same, including the pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and the total number of pomegranates on the lattice surrounding them was a hundred. 24 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the deputy priest, and the three doorkeepers. 25 From the city, he took one court official who was in charge of the men of war, seven men of those who had personal access to the king and were found in the city, the scribe of the commander who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people who were found within the city. 26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 The king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was taken into exile from its land.
