knops: 1 Kings 6:18, Exodus 25:31-36, Exodus 37:17-22

compassing the sea: 2 Chronicles 4:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it,.... Of an oval form, and therefore the Targum calls them figures of eggs; in 2 Chronicles 4:3 they are said to have the similitude of oxen, being like the heads of oxen, and the other parts oval; or these were in the form of gourds, as sometimes the word is rendered, 2 Kings 4:39 which had on them the figures of the heads of oxen, and might serve as cocks to let out the water:

ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about it; and as the circumference was thirty cubits, there must be three hundred of these in the circuit:

the knops were cast in two rows when it was cast; for these were cast together with the sea, and being in two rows, there must be in all six hundred of them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Knops - literally, “gourds,” - i. e. a boss or ball ornament encircled the rim of the bowl in two rows.
