Context of Jeremiah 27:19
17Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a desolation? 18But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 27:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Concerning the pillars - Two brazen columns placed by Solomon in the pronaos or portico of the temple, eighteen cubits high, and twelve in circumference, 1 Kings 7:16-22; Jeremiah 52:11.
