Jeremiah 52:17-23

17Now the bronze 1pillars which belonged to the house of the Lord and the 2stands and the bronze 3sea, which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18They also took away the 4pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the 5pans and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service. 19The captain of the guard also took away the 6bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the 7pans and the drink offering bowls, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 20The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under 8the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord--the bronze of all these vessels was 9beyond weight. 21As for the pillars, the 10height of each pillar was eighteen 11cubits, and 12it was twelve cubits in 13circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22Now a 14capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and 15pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23There were ninety-six 16exposed pomegranates; all 17the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.
