2 KINGS 25:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.”
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and on it was a bronze capital; the height of the capital was three cubits; lattice-work and pomegranates, all of bronze, were around the capital. The second pillar had the same, with the lattice-work — the architectural details of the pillars—eighteen cubits height, bronze capital, decorative lattice-work and pomegranates—provide a visual sense of the temple's grandeur. The removal of these monumental structures symbolizes the end of the temple's magnificence.
