joined to the base: Heb. in the base, 1 Kings 7:32

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.
