Jeremiah 52:20
Compare all
18 They also took away athe pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the1 bowls, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered.  
19 The basins, the firepans, the bowls, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the cups, whatever was solid gold and whatever was solid silver, the captain of the guard took away.
20 The two pillars, one Sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under it, and the carts, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—athe bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.  
21 Now concerning the apillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen1 cubits, a measuring line of twelve cubits could measure its circumference, and its thickness was2 four fingers; it was hollow.  
22 A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with a network and pomegranates all around the capital, all of bronze. The second pillar, with pomegranates was the same.
23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; aall the pomegranates, all around on the network, were one hundred.

Jeremiah 52:20

bulls . . . under the bases—But the bulls were not "under the bases," but under the sea (I Kings 7:25, I Kings 7:27, I Kings 7:38); the ten bases were not under the sea, but under the ten lavers. In English Version, "bases," therefore, must mean the lower parts of the sea under which the bulls were. Rather, translate, "the bulls were in the place of (that is, 'by way of'; so the Hebrew, I Samuel 14:9), bases," or supports to the sea [BUXTORF]. So the Septuagint. II Kings 25:16 omits the "bulls," and has "and the bases"; so GROTIUS here reads "the bulls (which were) under (the sea) and the bases."
