¹⁵ He fashioned ^(A)the two pillars of bronze; ^(B)eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits ^[a]measured the circumference of both. ¹⁶ He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five ^[b]cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. ¹⁷ There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. ¹⁸ So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. ¹⁹ The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. ²⁰ There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the ^[c]rounded projection which was beside the network; and ^(C)the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around ^[d]both capitals. ^21 (D)Thus he set up the pillars at the ^(E)porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it ^[e]Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it ^[f]Boaz. ²² On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.

^13 (A)Now the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and ^(B)the bronze sea which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried the ^[a]bronze to Babylon.

¹⁹ For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the ^(A)pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the stands and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city, ²⁰ which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he ^(B)carried into exile Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem. ²¹ Yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem, ²² ‘They will be ^(C)carried to Babylon and they will be there until the ^(D)day I visit them,’ declares the Lord. ‘Then I will ^(E)bring them ^[a]back and restore them to this place.’”

²⁰ The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under ^[a]the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was ^(A)beyond weight. ²¹ As for the pillars, the ^(B)height of each pillar was eighteen ^[b]cubits, and ^[c]it was twelve cubits in ^(C)circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. ²² Now a ^(D)capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and ^(E)pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. ²³ There were ninety-six ^[d]exposed pomegranates; all ^(F)the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.
