on Jeremiah 27:19-22

about the articles that remain

Three places still held these articles. Gill reads those left in Jerusalem as the vessels in the houses of the nobles and the rich. The loss will reach from the temple and the palace of the king to every wealthy house.

They shall all be carried to Babylon in triumph, and there shall they be.
