Jeremiah 52:20 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

twelve brasen bulls that were under - Omitted in 2 Kings and in Jeremiah 27:19. Probably rightly, for what is said here of their being under the bases is a mistake. The bases were under the ten lavers. The Septuagint makes sense by translating it: “the twelve brasen bulls under the sea.”

Jeremiah 52:20

20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
