1 Kings 7:16
"And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars,.... These were large ovals in the form of a crown, as the word signifies;

or like two crowns joined together, as Ben Gersom; or bowls, as they are called, Kg1 7:41 , the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits; in Kg2 25:17 they are said to be but three cubits high; but that is to be understood only of the ornamented part of them, the wreathen work and pomegranates on them, as there expressed; here it includes, with that, the part below unornamented.
