This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The particular enumeration of the parts and utensils of the temple, mentioned in this and in the following verses, may be conceived to have been to justify the prophecy of Jeremiah, Jer_27:19, where there is a particular mention made of the pillars, the bases, and the sea, that they should all, with the residue of the vessels of the temple, be carried into Babylon. Of these pillars we read 1Ki_7:15; they were of brass, eighteen cubits high, they were in the porch of the temple, Jer_52:21: of the bases we read there also largely, 1Ki_7:27-37; they also were all of brass: and of the sea, Jer_52:23-26. These being all made of brass, were, for conveniency of carriage, broken by the Chaldeans.
