SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:13
Y quebraron los caldeos las columnas de bronce que estaban en la Casa del SEÑOR, y las basas, y el mar de bronce que estaba en la Casa del SEÑOR, y llevaron el bronce de ello a Babilonia.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13-17. And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord , etc.] The two pillars in the temple, Jachin and Boaz. Benjamin of Tudela says f313 , that in the church of St. Stephen in Rome these pillars now are with the name of Solomon engraved on each; and the Jews at Rome told him, when there, (in the twelfth century,) that on the ninth of Ab (the day the temple was destroyed) every year sweat was found upon them like water; the one, I suppose, will equally be believed as the other, since it is here expressly said that the Chaldeans broke them in pieces. From hence, to the end of ( 2 Kings 25:17) is the same with ( Jeremiah 52:7-23), where it is rather more largely and fully expressed; only there is this difference here in ( 2 Kings 25:17) the height of the chapiter of a pillar is said to be three cubits, there five cubits; for the reconciliation of which, (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 52:22”).

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-21 - The city and temple were burnt, and, it is probable, the ark in it. By this, God showed how little he cares for the outward pomp of his worship, when the life and power of religion are neglected. The wall of Jerusalem were thrown down, and the people carried captive to Babylon. The vessels of the temple were carried away. When the thing signified were sinned away, what should the signs stand there for? It was righteous with God to deprive those of the benefit of his worship who had preferred false worships before it; those that would have man altars, now shall have none. As the Lord spared not the angels tha sinned, as he doomed the whole race of fallen men to the grave, and all unbelievers to hell, and as he spared not his own Son, but delivere him up for us all, we need not wonder at any miseries he may bring upo guilty nations, churches, or persons.
