16 As for the two pillars, the one reservoir, and the water carts that Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.(A) 17 One pillar was 27 feet(a) tall and had a bronze capital on top of it. The capital, encircled by a grating and pomegranates of bronze, stood five feet(b) high. The second pillar was the same, with its own grating.(B)
