Jeremiah 52:17–23

¹⁷The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars,^d the movable stands^e and the bronze Sea^f that were at the temple of the Lord and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.^{g 18}They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls,^h dishes and all the bronze articles used in the temple service.^{i 19}The commander of the imperial guard took away the basins, censers,^j sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands,^k dishes^l and bowls used for drink offerings^m—all that were made of pure gold or silver.ⁿ

²⁰The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls^o under it, and the movable stands, which King Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed.^{p 21}Each pillar was eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference^e; each was four fingers thick, and hollow.^{q 22}The bronze capital^r on top of one pillar was five cubits^f high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates^s of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar. ²³There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; the total number of pomegranates^t above the surrounding network was a hundred.^u
