17 And the (A)pillars of bronze that were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and the (B)bronze sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and (C)carried all the bronze to Babylon. 18 And they took away (D)the 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 (E)also the small bowls and the fire pans and the basins and the pots and (F)the lampstands and (G)the dishes for incense (H)and 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, (I)the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea,[a] 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,[b] (J)its 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 (K)five 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.

20 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls(L) under it, and the movable stands, which King Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed.(M) 21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference[a]; each was four fingers thick, and hollow.(N) 22 The bronze capital(O) on top of one pillar was five cubits[b] high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates(P) of bronze all around.

15 (A)He cast (B)two pillars of bronze. (C)Eighteen 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.[a] 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 (D)the 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[b] for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18 Likewise he made pomegranates[c] 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 (E)two hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital. 21 (F)He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple.
