Context of Jeremiah 52:22

20The bronze from the things that King Solomon had made for the Lord's temple was very heavy. They included the two bronze pillars, the large bath called ‘the Sea’, the 12 bronze bulls under the bath and the carts which carried the buckets for water. The bronze from all these things was more than they could weigh. 21Each pillar was 8 metres high and 5 metres around. The bronze was 8 centimetres thick and each pillar was empty inside. The bronze piece on the top of one pillar was more than a metre high. It had rows of chains with images of pomegranates made from bronze all around it. The other pillar, with its rows of chains and pomegranates, was the same. 23There were 96 images of pomegranates around the sides of the pillars. There were 100 images of pomegranates on the chains at the top. 24Captain Nebuzaradan took hold of these people: Seraiah, the leader of the priests. Zephaniah, the next most important priest. The three temple guards.
