Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 52:17

17 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 particular enumeration of the parts and Utensils of the Temple mentioned in this, and in the following Verses may be conceived to have been to justifie the Prophesie of Ieremiah, chapter 27.19. where there is a particular mention made of the pillars, the bases, and the Sea, that they should all with the residue of the Vessels of the Temple be carried into Babylon. Of these Pillars we read 1 Kings 7.15. they were of brass eighteen Cubits high, they were in the porch of the Temple, ver. 21. of the Bases we read there also largely from ver. 27. to ver. 38. they also were all of brass; and of the Sea from ver. 23. to ver. 27, These being all made of Brass were for conveniency of carriage broken by the Chaldeans.
