concerning: 1 Kings 7:15-21, 2 Kings 25:17, 2 Chronicles 3:15-17

fillet: Heb. thread

Reciprocal: Exodus 27:10 - fillets shall be of silver 1 Kings 7:26 - an hand breadth Jeremiah 52:17 - pillars

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits,.... As in 1 Kings 7:15; said to be thirty five, 2 Chronicles 3:15; of the reconciliation of which,

2 Chronicles 3:15- ::

and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; a thread or line of that measure encompassed each of the pillars, 1 Kings 7:15;

and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers; either of the pillar, or the fillet about it; that is, the brass of it was four fingers thick:

[it was] hollow; that is, the pillar was hollow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The fillet means a measuring line; the pillars were 12 cubits, i. e., 18 feet, in circumference, and thus the diameter would be 5 feet 9 inches. As the brass was four fingers, i. e., scarcely four inches thick, the hollow center would be more than five feet in diameter.
