Nebuchadnezzar
This name refers to the powerful Babylonian king who reigned from approximately 605 to 562 BC. Historically, Nebuchadnezzar II is known for his military conquests and the expansion of the Babylonian Empire. In the biblical context, he is often seen as an instrument of God's judgment against Judah for their disobedience. His actions fulfilled the prophecies of Jeremiah and other prophets who warned of the coming exile due to the nation's unfaithfulness.

also took
The phrase indicates an additional action, suggesting that Nebuchadnezzar's conquest was thorough and deliberate. The taking of sacred items was not merely an act of plunder but a symbolic gesture of dominance over the God of Israel. In ancient Near Eastern culture, capturing the religious artifacts of a conquered people was a way to demonstrate the superiority of the conqueror's gods.

some of the articles
These articles refer to the sacred vessels and items used in the worship and rituals of the temple in Jerusalem. The Hebrew term for "articles" can encompass a wide range of objects, from utensils to more significant items like the altar or lampstands. The removal of these items signified a disruption in the worship practices of the Israelites and a desecration of their holy place.

from the house of the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the sacredness of the items taken. The "house of the LORD" refers to Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, which was the central place of worship for the Israelites and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The temple was not just a physical structure but a symbol of the covenant relationship between God and Israel.

to Babylon
Babylon, the capital of the Babylonian Empire, was a city of great wealth and power. It was also a center of idolatry and pagan worship. The transportation of the temple articles to Babylon represents the physical and spiritual exile of the Israelites. It underscores the theme of judgment and the consequences of turning away from God.

and put them in his temple there
This action signifies the subjugation of the God of Israel to the gods of Babylon, at least in the eyes of the Babylonians. By placing the sacred articles in his temple, Nebuchadnezzar was making a statement about the supremacy of his deities. However, from a biblical perspective, this act serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over all nations and that His purposes will ultimately prevail, even through the actions of pagan kings.

(7) 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 (Herod, i. 181 seq.)

Verse 7. - (Comp. Daniel 2:2.) The temple here called his temple was, no doubt, the temple of Belus, or in the vernacular "Merodach," the Babylonian god of war. This rifling of the sacred vessels of Jerusalem's temple for Babylon's temple was the significant beginning of the end for Judah now at last, after many a warning.
