EasyEnglish Bible
17 Each pillar was 8 metres high. The bronze piece on the top of one pillar was more than 1 metre high. It had rows of chains with images of pomegranates made from bronze all around it. The other pillar, with its rows of chains and pomegranates, was the same.
18 Captain Nebuzaradan took hold of these people:
Seraiah, the leader of the priests,
Zephaniah, the next most important priest,
and the three temple guards.
19 He also took hold of these people who remained in Jerusalem:
The palace officer with authority over the soldiers,
five of the king's advisors,
the army secretary who took men to join the army,
and 60 other people of Judah who were in the city.
