Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not,.... For he seems only to have taken the vessels of gold, and left the vessels of brass, as the above were; see 2Ki 24:13; when he carried away captive Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; of which see 2Ki 24:12.

concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases

on Jeremiah 27:19-22

The chapter closes with an inventory of what Nebuchadnezzar left behind in his first deportation under Jeconiah, the pillars, the sea and the bases, named against what he already carried away, the vessels and the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem. These too, the Lord says, shall be carried to Babylon, and there they will remain until the day that I visit them, the same verb of visitation the seventy years of chapter 29 will attach a date to. The vessels' history is told as the city's own in miniature, taken in stages, held in exile, and promised restoration to this place, not to a substitute.

(Verse 19 onwards) O Lord of hosts, let the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, and in Babylon, not come back.

This was grievous to them above any thing; for the temple was their pride and confidence, and the stripping of that was too plain an indication of that which the true prophet told them, that their God had departed from them.

11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the L ORD ; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. Some difficulty occurs in the date of this prophecy. This word is said to come to Jeremiah in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim (

They shall all be carried to Babylon in triumph, and there shall they be. But he concludes with a gracious promise that the time should come when they should all be returned: Until the day that I visit them in mercy, according to appointment, and then I will bring those vessels up again, and restore them to this place, to their place.
