Jeremiah 27:19-22
“ For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken about the pillars in front of the Temple, the great bronze basin called the Sea, the water carts, and all the other ceremonial articles.King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left them here when he exiled Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the other nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.Yes, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says about the precious things still in the Temple, in the palace of Judah’s king, and in Jerusalem:‘ They will all be carried away to Babylon and will stay there until I send for them,’ says the Lord.‘ Then I will bring them back to Jerusalem again.’”

2 Kings 25 13-2 Kings 25 17
The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars in front of the Lord’s Temple, the bronze water carts, and the great bronze basin called the Sea, and they carried all the bronze away to Babylon.They also took all the ash buckets, shovels, lamp snuffers, ladles, and all the other bronze articles used for making sacrifices at the Temple.The captain of the guard also took the incense burners and basins, and all the other articles made of pure gold or silver.The weight of the bronze from the two pillars, the Sea, and the water carts was too great to be measured. These things had been made for the Lord’s Temple in the days of Solomon.Each of the pillars was 27 feet tall. The bronze capital on top of each pillar was 7 1/2 feet high and was decorated with a network of bronze pomegranates all the way around.

1 Kings 7 15-1 Kings 7 37
Huram cast two bronze pillars, each 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.For the tops of the pillars he cast bronze capitals, each 7 1/2 feet tall.Each capital was decorated with seven sets of latticework and interwoven chains.He also encircled the latticework with two rows of pomegranates to decorate the capitals over the pillars.The capitals on the columns inside the entry room were shaped like water lilies, and they were six feet tall.The capitals on the two pillars had 200 pomegranates in two rows around them, beside the rounded surface next to the latticework.Huram set the pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one toward the south and one toward the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.The capitals on the pillars were shaped like water lilies. And so the work on the pillars was finished.Then Huram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the Sea. It was 7 1/2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot all the way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.The Sea was placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east, and the Sea rested on them.The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons of water.Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet tall.They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath decorations.Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. There were supporting posts for the bronze basins at the corners of the carts; these supports were decorated on each side with carvings of wreaths.The top of each cart had a rounded frame for the basin. It projected 1 1/2 feet above the cart’s top like a round pedestal, and its opening was 2 1/4 feet across; it was decorated on the outside with carvings of wreaths. The panels of the carts were square, not round.Under the panels were four wheels that were connected to axles that had been cast as one unit with the cart. The wheels were 2 1/4 feet in diameterand were similar to chariot wheels. The axles, spokes, rims, and hubs were all cast from molten bronze.There were handles at each of the four corners of the carts, and these, too, were cast as one unit with the cart.Around the top of each cart was a rim nine inches wide. The corner supports and side panels were cast as one unit with the cart.Carvings of cherubim, lions, and palm trees decorated the panels and corner supports wherever there was room, and there were wreaths all around.All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.
