Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the Lord,.... The two pillars in the temple, called Jachin and Boaz, which were made of cast brass, 1Ki 7:15;and the bases; which were in number ten, and which were also made of cast brass, and were all of one measure and size; and on which the ten lavers of brass were set, five on the right side and five on the left side of the house, 1Ki 7:37;and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the Lord; called the molten sea; a sea, because of the large quantity of water it held; and brasen and molten, because made of molten brass, 1Ki 7:23;the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon: they broke them to pieces, that they might carry them the more easily.
