15 ^aHe cast ^btwo pillars of bronze. ^cEighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. ^{▼▼Targum, Syriac (compare Septuagint and Jeremiah 52:21); Hebrew fingers. And a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of the second pillar} 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and ^ethe height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew seven; twice in this verse} for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18 Likewise he made pomegranates ^{▼▼Two manuscripts (compare Septuagint); Hebrew pillars} in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital. 19 Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 The capitals were on the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the latticework. There were ^htwo hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital. 21 ⁱHe set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple. He set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz. 22 And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

2 Chronicles 4:2-16

2 ^pThen he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3 Under it were figures of gourds, ^{▼▼Compare 1 Kings 7:24; Hebrew oxen; twice in this verse} for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. 5 Its thickness was a handbreadth. ^{▼▼A handbreadth was about 3 inches or 7.5 centimeters} And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. ^sIt held 3,000 baths. ^{▼▼A bath was about 6 gallons or 22 liters} 6 ^uHe also made ten basins in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7 And he made ten golden lampstands ^vas prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. 8 ^wHe also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he made a hundred basins of gold. 9 He made ^xthe court of the priests ^yand the great court and doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 ^zAnd he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

11 ^aa, ^abHiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. ^acSo Hiram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God: 12 the two pillars, ^adthe bowls, and the two capitals on the top of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 13 ^aeand the 400 pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. 14 ^afHe made the stands also, and the basins on the stands, 15 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it. 16 The pots, the shovels, ^agthe forks, and all the equipment for these ^ah, ^aiHuram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.

Jeremiah 52:17-23

17 And the ^ajpillars of bronze that were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and the ^akbronze sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and ^alcarried all the bronze to Babylon. 18 And they took away ^amthe pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the basins and the dishes for incense and all the vessels of bronze used in the temple service; 19 ^analso the small bowls and the fire pans and the basins and the pots and ^aothe lampstands and ^apthe dishes for incense ^aqand the bowls for drink offerings. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver. 20 As for the two pillars, the one sea, ^arthe twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks the sea} and the stands, which Solomon the king had made for the house of the Lord, the bronze of all these things was beyond weight. 21 As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} ^auits circumference was twelve cubits, and its thickness was four fingers, and it was hollow. 22 On it was a capital of bronze. The height of the one capital was ^avfive cubits. A network and pomegranates, all of bronze, were around the capital. And the second pillar had the same, with pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network all around.
