2 Chronicles 36:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ So God brought the king of ·Babylon [the Chaldeans] to attack them. The king ·killed [slaughtered; ^Lkilled with the sword] the young men even when they were in the ·Temple [^Lhouse of their sanctuary]. He had no ·mercy [pity; compassion] on the young men or women, the old men or those who were ·sick [infirm]. God handed all of them over to Nebuchadnezzar. ¹⁸ Nebuchadnezzar carried away to Babylon all the ·things [articles; vessels] from the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God, both large and small, and all the treasures from the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and from the king and his ·officers [officials]. ¹⁹ Nebuchadnezzar and his army ·set fire to [burned down] God’s ·Temple [^Lhouse] and broke down Jerusalem’s wall and burned all the ·palaces [or fortifications; ^Lhouses]. They destroyed every valuable thing in Jerusalem.
