¹⁸ He carried away to Babylon all the items in God’s temple, whether large or small, as well as what was in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the king and his officials. ¹⁹ They burned down God’s temple and tore down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned all its fortified buildings and destroyed all its valuable items. ²⁰ He deported to Babylon all who escaped the sword. They served him and his sons until the Persian kingdom rose to power.
