2 Kings 25:16 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The two pillars, (the) one sea ... — A nominative absolute.

All these vessels ... — Those just mentioned, the two pillars, &c.

Without weight. — A natural hyperbole closely resembling one which we often meet with in Assyrian accounts of the plunder carried off from conquered towns: “spoils without number 1 carried off.”

2 Kings 25:16

16 The two pillars, oned sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
