Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

But 2Ki 25:17 has "three cubits." There were two parts in the chapiter: the one lower and plain, of two cubits; the other, higher and curiously carved, of three cubits. The former is omitted in 2Ki 25:17, as belonging to the shaft of the pillar; the latter alone is there mentioned. Here the whole chapiter of five cubits is referred to.

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.
