Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd all the vessels of the house of God, great and small,.... All that were left; for some had been carried away in both the reigns preceding: and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes; which became the spoil and booty of the soldiers: all these he brought to Babylon; the vessels were laid up there, and restored when Cyrus took it; but the treasures were no doubt in part taken for his own use, and the rest divided in the army.
This site's exposition
put their young men to the sword
on 2 Chronicles 36:17-19
The king of the Chaldeans puts young men to the sword “in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm”. Chronicles lists in a few lines what Kings tells as narrative. Adam Clarke calls the temple the most costly building ever raised by human hands.
This site's exposition
both large and small
John Gill notes that this took what was left after the removals of verses 7 and 10. The vessels were kept in Babylon and returned under Cyrus, while the treasures became plunder. Isaiah had told Hezekiah that the treasures of his house would be carried to Babylon, Isaiah 39:6.

The temple was burnt, the walls of Jerusalem were demolished, the houses (called here the palaces, as Ps. xlviii. 3 , so stately, rich, and sumptuous were they) laid in ashes, and all the furniture, called here the goodly vessels thereof, destroyed,
