This site's exposition
the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars
on Jeremiah 52:17-23
The Chaldeans break up “the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea”, with the twelve bulls “that King Solomon had made.” The pillars, named Jachin and Boaz in 1 Kings 7:21, are measured again: “eighteen cubits tall.” The list runs as an inventory of bronze, gold, and silver.
