13<\/strong>. And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord<\/em> ] According to the Chronicler (2Ch 36:7<\/span>) some of the vessels of the house of the Lord had been taken to Babylon in the reign of Jehoiakim. With this agrees the notice in Daniel (2Ki 1:2<\/span>) where we are told that the vessels were put by Nebuchadnezzar ‘into the house of his god’, or as the Chronicler records ‘into his temple at Babylon’.<\/p>\n and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon had made<\/em> ] We know from Ezr 1:7-11<\/span> that Cyrus gave back to the Jews after the captivity 5400 vessels of gold and silver. We must suppose that the larger portion of these had been taken away at first. This second plundering of the temple appears to have been conducted with much more violence than the former. The verb translated here ‘cut in pieces’ is rendered ‘cut off’ in the account of Hezekiah’s stripping the gold from the temple doors (2Ki 18:16<\/span>), and before that (2Ki 16:17<\/span>) of Ahaz ‘cutting off’ the borders of the bases. So that here we are probably to understand that Nebuchadnezzar stripped all that was overlaid with gold. That there was a large quantity of gold so used by Solomon we see from the account in 1 Kings 6<\/span>.<\/p>\n as the Lord had said<\/em> ] Formerly to Hezekiah after his ostentation (2Ki 20:17<\/span>).<\/p>\n On the first capture of the city in the fourth (third) year of Jehoiakim Dan 1:2<\/span>; 2Ch 36:7<\/span>, the vessels carried off consisted of smaller and lighter articles; while now the heavier articles, as the table of showbread, the altar of incense, the ark of the covenant were stripped of their gold, which was carried away by the conquerors. Little remained more precious than brass at the time of the final capture in the reign of Zedekiah 2Ki 25:13-17<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 13<\/span>. He carried out thence all the treasures<\/B><\/I>] It has been remarked that Nebuchadnezzar spoiled the temple three times<\/I>. –<\/P> 1. He took away the greater part of those treasures when he took Jerusalem under Jehoiakim: and the vessels that he took then he placed in the temple of his god, Da 1:2<\/span>. And these were the vessels which Belshazzar profaned<\/I>, Da 5:2<\/span>; and which Cyrus<\/I> restored to Ezra<\/I>, when he went up to Jerusalem, Ezr 1:2<\/span>. It was at this time that he took Daniel and his companions.<\/P> 2. He took the remaining part of those vessels, and broke them or cut them in pieces, when he came the second tine against Jerusalem under Jeconiah; as is mentioned here, 2Kg 24:13<\/span>.<\/P> 3. He pillaged the temple, took away all the brass, the brazen pillars, brazen vessels, and vessels of gold and silver, which he found there when he besieged Jerusalem under Zedekiah, 2Kg 25:13-17<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Cut in pieces; <\/B>or rather, took away, as this word elsewhere signifies; or cut off<\/I>, to wit, from the temple. For why should they cut in pieces those vessels which might conveniently be carried away? And that they were not cut in pieces, but reserved whole, is manifest front Ezr 1:7<\/span>; Dan 5:2<\/span>,3<\/span>. <\/P> All the vessels of gold, <\/B>i.e. the most and choicest of them, by comparing this with 2Ki 25:14<\/span>,15<\/span>. <\/P> Which Solomon king of Israel had made; <\/B>so he expresseth it, either, first, Because these vessels were made by the godly kings of Judah, instead of those which Solomon made, and so they go by his name; as the ship of the Argonauts was still reputed the same ship, though it was from time to time recruited with new materials, until nothing of the old was left. Or, secondly, Because though the city and temple had been rifled more than once, both by the kings of Egypt and Israel, and by the wicked kings of Judah, yet these golden vessels were preserved from them, either by the care of the priests, who hid them out of the way; or by the clemency of the conquerors, and the reverence which they bore to such sacred instruments; or by the special providence of God disposing their hearts to leave them. Or if they had been taken away by any of these kings, they might afterwards be recovered by the entreaty or at the cost of the godly kings of Judah. <\/P> <\/p>\n 13-16. as the Lord had said<\/B>(compare2Ki 20:17<\/span>; Isa 39:6<\/span>;Jer 15:13<\/span>; Jer 17:3<\/span>).The elite of the nation for rank, usefulness, and moral worth, allwho might be useful in Babylon or dangerous in Palestine, werecarried off to Babylon, to the number of ten thousand (2Ki24:14<\/span>). These are specified (2Ki 24:15<\/span>;2Ki 24:16<\/span>), warriors, seventhousand; craftsmen and smiths, one thousand; king’s wives, officers,and princes, also priests and prophets (Jer 29:1<\/span>;Eze 1:1<\/span>), two thousand; equal toten thousand captives in all. <\/P> 2Ki24:17-20<\/span>. ZEDEKIAH’SEVIL REIGN.<\/P><\/p>\n And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house<\/strong>,…. The gates of the city being thrown open to him, he entered and plundered the temple, and the royal palace, and took from thence all the riches thereof:<\/p>\n and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said<\/strong>;<\/p>\n 2Ki 20:17<\/span> and so the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled. No more is said of these vessels in 2Ch 36:10<\/span> than that they were brought to Babylon; and so Piscator renders the word here, “took”, or “carried them away”; and certain it is that they were carried whole to Babylon, Da 5:2<\/span> but as Hezekiah is said to cut off the doors of the temple, that is, strip or scrape off the gold of them, 2Ki 18:16<\/span> so Nebuchadnezzar cut off from the temple, or stripped it of the golden vessels in it; of great part of them, the greater part thereof; for that there were some left is plain from Jer 27:18<\/span>.<\/p>\n Nebuchadnezzar thereupon, that is to say, when he had forced his way into the city, plundered the treasures of the temple and palace, and broke the gold off the vessels which Solomon had made in the temple of Jehovah. , to cut off, break off, as in 2Ki 16:17<\/span>, i.e., to bear off the gold plates. Nebuchadnezzar had already taken a portion of the golden vessels of the temple away with him at the first taking of Jerusalem in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, and had placed them in the temple of his god at Babylon (2Ch 36:7<\/span>; Dan 1:2<\/span>). They were no doubt the smaller vessels of solid gold-basins, scoops, goblets, knives, tongs, etc., – which Cyrus delivered up again to the Jews on their return to their native land ( Ezr 1:7<\/span>.). This time he took the gold off the larger vessels, which were simply plated with that metal, such as the altar of burnt-offering, the table of shew-bread and ark of the covenant, and carried it away as booty, so that on the third conquest of Jerusalem, in the time of Zedekiah, beside a few gold and silver basins and scoops (2Ki 25:15<\/span>) there were only the large brazen vessels of the court remaining (2Ki 25:13-17<\/span>; Jer 27:18<\/span>.). The words, “as Jehovah had spoken,” refer to 2Ki 20:17<\/span> and Isa 39:6<\/span>, and to the sayings of other prophets, such as Jer 15:13<\/span>; Jer 17:3<\/span>, etc. <\/p>\n (13) And he carried out thence . . .<\/strong>It is apt said, but implied, that Nebuchadnezzar entered the city. He may<\/em> have done so at the time of his invasion under Jehoiakim (2Ki. 24:1<\/span>). On that occasion he had carried off some of the sacred vessels (2Ch. 36:7<\/span>; Dan. 1:2<\/span>; Dan. 5:2-3<\/span>; comp. Ezr. 1:7<\/span> seq.<\/em>) It is certainly surprising to find that anything was left in the Temple treasury after the repeated spoliations which it had undergone. The fact not only indicates the probable existence of secret (subterranean) store-chambers, but also lends some support to the chroniclers representations of the great wealth stored up in the sanctuary.<\/p>\n Cut in pieces.<\/strong>2Ki. 16:17<\/span>; 2Ch. 28:24<\/span>. The meaning seems to be that the gold-plating was now stripped off from such vessels as the altar of incense, the table of shewbread, and the Ark. (Comp. 2Ki. 18:16<\/span>.)<\/p>\n As the Lord had said<\/strong>e.g.,<\/em> to Hezekiah (2Ki. 20:17<\/span>; comp. Jer. 15:13<\/span>; Jer. 17:3<\/span>).<\/p>\n 13<\/strong>. <\/strong> Carried out thence <\/strong> From Jerusalem, which he had triumphantly entered after Jehoiachin’s surrender. <\/p>\n Cut in pieces <\/strong> , he cut off, <\/em> or cut loose. <\/em> The same word is used of Ahaz’s removal of the borders of the bases, (2Ki 16:17<\/span>,) and Hezekiah’s taking off the plating of the temple doors. 2Ki 18:16<\/span>. <\/p>\n Vessels of gold <\/strong> All that remained after the previous deportation, for in the time of Jehoiakim Nebuchadnezzar had taken a portion of the sacred vessels and deposited them in his temple at Babylon. 2Ch 36:7<\/span>; Dan 1:2<\/span>. These were probably the smaller vessels, such as bowls and basins, and were used by Belshazzar in his impious feast, (Dan 5:3<\/span>,) and restored by Cyrus when the Jews returned from exile; (Ezr 1:7-11<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 but the vessels taken on this occasion seem to have been the heavier and more costly ones, since the word rendered cut in pieces <\/em> implies that they were violently removed. The less costly and valuable vessels, together with the brazen ornaments of the temple, were not at this time disturbed, (Jer 27:19<\/span>.) but were seized and carried off eleven years afterwards, when the temple was destroyed. 2Ki 25:13-17<\/span>. <\/p>\n As the Lord had said <\/strong> By Jeremiah. Jer 20:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2Ki 24:13<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Nebuchadnezzar carried away the treasures and rich furniture of the temple at three different times: First, <\/em>In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim when he first took Jerusalem, he carried half of the vessels of the house of God away into the land of Shinar, and put them into the house of his god, Dan 1:2<\/span>. These were the vessels which his son Belshazzar profaned, Dan 5:2<\/span> and which Cyrus restored to the Jews, Ezr 1:7<\/span> to be set up in the temple again when rebuilt. Secondly, <\/em>In the reign of Jehoiachin he took the city again, and cut in pieces a great part of the vessels of gold which Solomon had made, and which by some means or other had escaped his former plunder. Thirdly, <\/em>In the eleventh year of Zedekiah he pillaged the temple once more, when he broke in pieces the pillars of brass, &c. and took along with them all the vessels of silver and gold which he could find, and carried them to Babylon. See the next chapter, 2Ki 24:13<\/span>, &c. It is something strange, that, among all this inventory, no mention is made of the ark of the covenant, which, of all other things, was held most sacred. But it is very probable, that it was burned together with the temple in the last desolation; for, what some say, of its being hidden by the prophet Jeremiah in a certain cave in mount Nebo, is a mere fable. See Calmet. <\/p>\n 2Ki 24:13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.<\/p>\n Ver. 13.

He carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord Nebuchadnezzar carried away the treasures and rich furniture of the temple at three different times: First, In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, when he first took Jerusalem, he carried a part of the vessels of the house of God into the land of Shinar, and put them in the house of his god, Dan 1:2. These were the vessels which his son Belshazzar profaned, (Dan 5:2,) and which Cyrus restored to the Jews, (Ezr 1:7,) to be set up in the temple again, when rebuilt: Secondly, In the reign of this Jehoiachin he took the city again, and cut in pieces a great part of the vessels of gold which Solomon had made, and which, through some means, had escaped his former plunder, and the plunder of the kings of Egypt and Israel, who had rifled the city and temple more than once; perhaps being preserved from them by the care of the priests, who hid them, or by the special providence of God, disposing their hearts to leave them. Or if these vessels had been taken away by any of these kings, they might afterward be recovered at the cost of the pious kings of Judah: Thirdly, In the eleventh year of Zedekiah he pillaged the temple once more, when he broke in pieces the pillars of brass, &c., and took away all the vessels of silver and gold that he could find, and carried them to Babylon, 2Ki 25:13.
