Contextual Overview
8On the seventh day of the fifth month in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, captain of the bodyguard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9He burned the house (temple) of the LORD, the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down. 10All the army of the Chaldeans (Babylonians) who were with the captain of the bodyguard tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 11Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard deported [into exile] the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had joined the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. 12But the captain of the bodyguard left some of the unimportant and poorest people of the land to be vineyard workers and farmers. 13Now the Chaldeans (Babylonians) smashed the bronze pillars which were in the house of the LORD and their bases and the bronze sea (large basin) which were in the house of the LORD, and carried the bronze to Babylon. 14They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the bronze articles which were used in the temple service, 15the captain of the bodyguard also took away the firepans and basins, anything made of fine gold and anything made of fine silver. 16The two pillars, the one sea (large basin), and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these articles was incalculable. 17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits (27 ft.), and a capital of bronze was on top of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare with this description the accounts in marginal references. The height of the capital (“three cubits”) must be corrected, in accordance with those passages, to “five cubits.”
