'Column' in the Bible

But when the signal began to rise out of the city in a column of smoke, the Benjaminites looked behind them; and behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.

And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.

and they broke down the column of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house to this day.
