2Ki 25:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars named Jachin and Boaz and took the bronze away to Babylon. These pillars had symbolized the temple’s strength, but now even these were removed ( 2 Kings 25:13 ). In the past, King Ahaz had already damaged some of the temple furnishings ( 2 Kings 16:17 ). Now, God allowed everything to be taken because the people had not respected his worship.
