"Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon." — 2 Chronicles 36:7 (ASV)
Nebuchadnezzar also carried. — And of the vessels of the house ... did Nebuchadnezzar bring. Not mentioned in Kings, but confirmed by Daniel 1:2.
In his temple. — The temple of “Mercdach, my Lord” (Bilu, i.e., Bel), whom his inscriptions so frequently mention. The great temple of Belus (Bel Merodach), which Nebuchadnezzar built, was one of the wonders of the world to Herodotus (Herodotus, Book 1, section 181 and following).
