The Chaldeans break up the pillars of bronze, the bases and the bronze sea of the LORD’s house, and carry the bronze to Babylon
갈대아 사람이 여호와의 전의 놋기둥과 받침들과 놋바다를 깨뜨려 그 놋을 바벨론으로 가져감
2 Kings 25:13–17: the Chaldeans break up the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house, and carry the bronze pieces to Babylon. They take away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered. The captain of the guard takes away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver. The text says, “The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the LORD’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed. The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.” The Korean Revised Version counts two pillars at 25:13 (두 놋기둥), and at 25:16 has a verb, took (취하였는데, with no subject), where WEB has none.

2 Kings 25:8 gives the seventh day of the fifth month, and Jeremiah 52:12 the tenth day. 2 Kings 25:17 gives the height of the capital as three cubits, and Jeremiah 52:22 as five cubits. 2 Kings 25:19 names an officer who was set over the men of war and five men of those who saw the king’s face, and Jeremiah 52:25 an officer and seven men (the Korean Revised Version reads 내시 하나 at 2 Kings 25:19 and 장관 하나 at Jeremiah 52:25, where WEB reads “an officer” in both). 2 Kings 25:27 gives the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, and Jeremiah 52:31 the twenty-fifth day. Both editions give the two books’ numbers so. This collection keeps each book’s numbers as that book gives them, does not alter either to fit the other, and does not decide why they differ.
