The destruction and plundering of Jerusalem were foretold by prophets such as Isaiah and Jeremiah (<a href="/isaiah/39-6.htm">Isaiah 39:6</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/25-9.htm">Jeremiah 25:9</a>). It underscores the sovereignty of God in history and His faithfulness to His word, even in judgment. This serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the certainty of divine prophecy.Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, was used as an instrument of God's judgment against Judah. The treasures of the temple and the royal palace represented the wealth and glory of Israel, now taken as spoils of war. This act fulfilled the warnings given to Hezekiah by Isaiah (<a href="/2_kings/20-17.htm">2 Kings 20:17</a>). The loss of these treasures symbolizes the departure of God's blessing and presence from the nation due to their unfaithfulness.and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD The gold articles crafted by Solomon were significant, representing the height of Israel's spiritual and material prosperity (<a href="/1_kings/7-48.htm">1 Kings 7:48-50</a>). Their destruction signifies the end of an era and the dismantling of the temple's sanctity. This act of desecration highlights the severity of Judah's fall and serves as a type of Christ, as Jesus later speaks of the temple's destruction and His own body as the true temple (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19-21</a>).

On that occasion he had carried off some of the sacred vessels (<a href="/2_chronicles/36-7.htm" title="Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.">2Chronicles 36:7</a>; <a href="/daniel/1-2.htm" title="And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.">Daniel 1:2</a>; <a href="/context/daniel/5-2.htm" title="Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.">Daniel 5:2-3</a>; comp. <a href="/ezra/1-7.htm" title="Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;">Ezra 1:7</a> seq.) It is certainly surprising to find that anything was left in the Temple treasury after the repeated spoliations which it had undergone. The fact not only indicates the probable existence of secret (subterranean) store-chambers, but also lends some support to the chronicler's representations of the great wealth stored up in the sanctuary.Cut in pieces.--<a href="/2_kings/16-17.htm" title="And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it on the pavement of stones.">2Kings 16:17</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/28-24.htm" title="And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.">2Chronicles 28:24</a>. The meaning seems to be that the gold-plating was now stripped off from such "vessels" as the altar of incense, the table of shewbread, and the Ark. (Comp. <a href="/2_kings/18-16.htm" title="At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.">2Kings 18:16</a>.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_kings/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord. "Thence" means "from Jerusalem," which he entered and plundered, notwithstanding Jehoiachin's submission, so that not much was gained by the voluntary surrender. A beginning had been made of the carrying off the sacred vessels of the temple in Jehoiakim's third (fourth?) year (<a href="/daniel/1-1.htm">Daniel 1:1</a>), which was the first of Nebuchadnezzar. The plundering was now carried a step further; while the final complete sweep of all that remained came eleven years later, at the end of the reign of Zedekiah (see <a href="/2_kings/25-13.htm">2 Kings 25:13-17</a>). And the treasures of the king's house (comp. <a href="/2_kings/20-13.htm">2 Kings 20:13</a>). If the treasures which Hezekiah showed to the envoys of Merodach-Baladan were carried off by Sennacherib (<a href="/2_kings/18-15.htm">2 Kings 18:15</a>), still there had probably been fresh accumulations made during their long reigns by Manasseh and Josiah. And out in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon King of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord. (For an account of these vessels, see <a href="/1_kings/7-45.htm">1 Kings 7:45-50</a>.) They consisted in part of articles of furniture, like the altar of incense and the table of shrewbread, which were thickly covered with plates of gold; in part of vessels, etc., made wholly of the precious metal, as candlesticks, or rather candelabra, snuffers, tongs, basins, spoons, censers, and the like.
