He carried off everything to Babylon
This phrase marks the culmination of a tragic period in Israel's history, where the Babylonian forces, under King Nebuchadnezzar, executed God's judgment upon Judah for their persistent disobedience. The Hebrew root for "carried off" (יָצָא, yatsa) implies a forceful removal, signifying not just a physical relocation but a spiritual and cultural uprooting. Babylon, a city synonymous with idolatry and opposition to God, becomes the place of exile, representing the consequences of turning away from divine commandments.

all the articles from the house of God, large and small
The "articles" refer to the sacred vessels and instruments used in temple worship, crafted according to divine specifications given to Moses and Solomon. The Hebrew word for "articles" (כְּלִי, keli) encompasses both the grand and the mundane, indicating that nothing was spared. This loss symbolizes the stripping away of Israel's spiritual identity and the desecration of what was once holy. Historically, the removal of these items was a common practice in ancient conquests, serving as a demonstration of the victor's supremacy over the vanquished deity.

and the treasures of the LORD’s house
The "treasures" (אוֹצָר, otsar) of the LORD's house were not merely material wealth but represented the glory and presence of God among His people. Their confiscation signifies a profound spiritual desolation, as the physical manifestation of God's covenant with Israel is dismantled. This act fulfilled the prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets, who foresaw the consequences of Judah's infidelity.

and the treasures of the king and his officials
The inclusion of the king's and officials' treasures highlights the totality of the Babylonian conquest. The Hebrew term for "officials" (שָׂרִים, sarim) denotes leaders or princes, indicating that the judgment extended from the religious to the political sphere. This comprehensive plundering underscores the complete subjugation of Judah, as both sacred and secular authorities are stripped of their power and wealth. Historically, this reflects the common practice of ancient empires to consolidate power by seizing the assets of conquered rulers, thereby asserting dominance and control.

(18) All the vessels . . . (the) great and (the) small.--See 2Kings 25:13-17, for an inventory of the articles; also Jeremiah 27:19 seq.

Verse 18. - Compare the parallel in its vers. 13-17 (2 Kings 25.); Jeremiah 52:15-23.
