Contextual Overview
13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and had Huram brought to him. 14 Huram's mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali. His father was from Tyre and had been skilled in making things from bronze. Huram was also very skilled and experienced in bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all the bronze work. 15 He made two bronze pillars, each one twenty-seven feet tall and eighteen feet around. 16 He also made two bronze capitals that were seven and one-half feet tall, and he put them on top of the pillars. 17 Then he made a net of seven chains for each capital, which covered the capitals on top of the two pillars. 18 He made two rows of bronze pomegranates to go on the nets. These covered the capitals at the top of the pillars. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies, and they were six feet tall. 20 The capitals were on top of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped section and next to the nets. At that place there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around the capitals. 21 Huram put these two bronze pillars at the porch of the Temple. He named the south pillar He Establishes and the north pillar In Him Is Strength. 22 The capitals on top of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And under the borders were four wheels,.... Not under the borders last mentioned, but those in 1 Kings 7:29,
and the axle trees of the wheels [were] joined to the base; to the four sides of it:
and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit; that is, from the plate of brass on which it stood, to the axis or semicircle of it; so that the highest part of the ring being also a cubit and an half, reached to the top of the base, it being but three cubits high, 1 Kings 7:27.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With the diameter (2 14 ft.) of the wheel here, may be compared that of the earliest Assyrian chariot-wheels, which was under 3 feet; and that of the front wheels seen in representations of Assyrian close carriages, which scarcely exceed 14th of the height of the entire vehicle. The wheels of these moveable lavers appear to have been a little less than 15th of the height of the whole structure.
