Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
The pillars of brass ... the bases and the brasen sea ... the Chaldeans brake - that they might be more portable. Fulfilling exactly the prophecy (Jeremiah 27:19). See 1 Kings 6:15, 1 Kings 6:23, 1 Kings 6:27,50 . Solomon had made two pillars of brass, a molten sea standing upon twelve oxen, ten bases; also bowls, snuffers, and spoons of gold. Nothing is so particularly related here as the carry away of the articles in the temple. The remembrance of them beauty and preciousness heightens the bitterness of their loss, and the evil of sin which caused it.
Of brass ... brasen - rather, of copper ... of copper.
