2 Kings 25:15-17
New Living Translation
15 The captain of the guard also took the incense burners and basins, and all the other articles made of pure gold or silver.
16 The weight of the bronze from the two pillars, the Sea, and the water carts was too great to be measured. These things had been made for the Lord’s Temple in the days of Solomon. 17 Each of the pillars was 27 feet[a] tall. The bronze capital on top of each pillar was 7 1⁄2 feet[b] high and was decorated with a network of bronze pomegranates all the way around.

New International Version
15 The commander of the imperial guard took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—all that were made of pure gold or silver.(A)
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the movable stands, which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed. 17 Each pillar(B) was eighteen cubits[a] high. The bronze capital on top of one pillar was three cubits[b] high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its network, was similar.
