Jeremiah 52:21-34 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

21. And concerning the pillars, the hight of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness of it was four fingers: it was hollow.

22. And a capital of brass was upon it; and the hight of one capital was five cubits, with net-work and pomegranates upon the capitals around, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like to these.

23. And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the net-work were a hundred on all sides.

24. And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

25. He took also out of the city a eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, who were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

26. So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

32. And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
