Contextual Overview

12On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem. 13He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem-every significant building.14And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem. 15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen. 16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left behind the rest of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and farmers. 17Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and the stands and the bronze sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon. 18They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service. 19The captain of the guard also took away the bowls, censers, sprinkling basins, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls-anything made of pure gold or fine silver. 20As for the two pillars, the sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure. 21Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And burnt the house of the Lord,.... The temple built by Solomon, after it had stood four hundred and seventy years, six months, and ten days, according to Josephus z: but the Jews say it stood but four hundred ten years a:

and the king's house; the royal palace; probably that which was built by Solomon, 1 Kings 7:1;

and all the houses of Jerusalem: of any note or strength:

and all the houses of the great [men] burnt he with fire; of the princes and nobles in Jerusalem; it is in the singular number, "and every house of the great one"; or "every great house" b; Jarchi interprets it of the synagogue, where prayer was magnified; and others, he says, understood it of the schools, where the law was magnified.

z Autiqu. l. 10. c. 8. sect. 5. a T. Bab. Bava Bathra, fol. 3. 2. Gloss. in ib. b ואת כל בית הגדול "omnem domum magnatis", Cocceius "omnemque domum magnam", Pagninus, Montanus, Schmidt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Houses of the great - Rather, every great house; i. e., the larger houses only.
