Jamieson, Fausset and Brown on Ezra 1:7

Ezr 1:7-11. Cyrus Restores the Vessels.

7. Cyrus ... brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord--Though it is said (2Ki 24:13) that these were cut in pieces, that would not be done to the large and magnificent vases; and, if they had been divided, the parts could be reunited. But it may be doubted whether the Hebrew word rendered cut in pieces, does not signify merely cut off, that is, from further use in the temple.
