Jeremiah 52:20-23

20The two pillars, the one 1sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under 2the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord--the bronze of all these vessels was 3beyond weight. 21As for the pillars, the 4height of each pillar was 5eighteen cubits, and 6it was twelve cubits in 7circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22Also, a 8capital of bronze was on top of it; and the height of each capital was 9five cubits, with latticework and 10pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23There were ninety-six 11exposed pomegranates; all 12the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the latticework all around.
