Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars,.... The pillars of brass that stood in the temple; the one called Boaz, and the other Jachin, 1Ki 7:15; and concerning the sea; the sea of molten brass, which stood upon twelve oxen, 1Ki 7:23; and concerning the bases: the ten bases, which also were made of brass, 1Ki 7:27; and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city; in the king's palace, and in the houses of the noblemen, and of the rich and wealthy inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Concerning the pillars - Two brazen columns placed by Solomon in the pronaos or portico of the temple, eighteen cubits high, and twelve in circumference, 1Ki 7:16-22; Jer 52:11. The sea - The brazen sea, ten cubits in diameter, and thirty in circumference. It contained water for different washings in the Divine worship, and was supported on twelve brazen oxen. Perhaps these are what are called the bases here. See the parallel places at 2Ki 25:13 (note), etc.; Jer 52:17 (note), Jer 52:20-21 (note), and the notes on them.
