John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 52:18

"The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away." — Jeremiah 52:18 (ASV)

The cauldrons also Or "pots", as it is rendered, (2 Kings 25:14); which were made of bright brass, (1 Kings 7:45); these were used to boil the flesh of the sacrifices in.

And the shovels used to remove the ashes from off the altar of burnt offerings, and were of brass also. The Targum renders them "besoms", whose handles perhaps were of brass.

And the snuffers The Vulgate Latin translates it "psalteries"; and so Jarchi interprets it of musical instruments; some think "tongs" are meant.

And the bowls Or "basins"; either to drink out of, or to receive the blood of the sacrifice.

And the spoons Ladles, cups, or dishes, vessels used about the sacrifices.

And all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered; that is, the priests in the temple: took they away; the Chaldeans took them away.
