17 Now the bronze ^apillars which belonged to the house of the Lord and the ^bstands and the bronze ^{▼▼I.e., large basin
,} ^dsea, which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans smashed to pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18 They also took the ^epots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the ^{▼▼Or spoons for incense}pans, and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service. 19 The captain of the guard also took the ^gbowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the ^{▼▼Or spoons for incense}pans, and the drink offering bowls, whatever was fine gold, and whatever was fine silver. 20 The two pillars, the one ^{▼▼As in LXX and Syriac; MT omits the sea; i.e., large basin}sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under ^{▼▼As in LXX and Syriac; MT omits the sea; i.e., large basin}the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord--the bronze of all these vessels was ^kbeyond weight. 21 As for the pillars, the ^lheight of each pillar was ^{▼▼About 27 ft. high and 18 ft. in circumference or 8 m and 5.4 m}eighteen cubits, and ^{▼▼Lit a thread of 12 cubits would encircle it}it was twelve cubits in ^ocircumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22 Also, a ^pcapital of bronze was on top of it; and the height of each capital was ^{▼▼About 7.5 ft. or 2.3 m}five cubits, with latticework and ^rpomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six ^{▼▼Lit windward}exposed pomegranates; all ^tthe pomegranates numbered a hundred on the latticework all around.
