Jeremiah 52:21

And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was]
eighteen cubits
As in ( 1 Kings 7:15 ) ; said to be thirty five, ( 2 Chronicles 3:15 ) ; of the reconciliation of which, (See Gill on 2 Chronicles 3:15): and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it;
a thread or line of that measure encompassed each of the pillars, ( 1 Kings 7:15 ) ; and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers;
either of the pillar, or the fillet about it; that is, the brass of it was four fingers thick: [it was] hollow;
that is, the pillar was hollow.

Jeremiah 52:21 In-Context

19 The king's deputy didn't miss a thing. He took every scrap of precious metal he could find.

20 The amount of bronze they got from the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls that supported the Sea, and the ten washstands that Solomon had made for the Temple of God was enormous. They couldn't weigh it all!

21 Each pillar stood twenty-seven feet high with a circumference of eighteen feet. The pillars were hollow, the bronze a little less than an inch thick.

22 Each pillar was topped with an ornate capital of bronze pomegranates and filigree, which added another seven and a half feet to its height.

23 There were ninety-six pomegranates evenly spaced - in all, a hundred pomegranates worked into the filigree.
