2 Kings 25:16

25:16 The bronze of the items that King Solomon made for the Lord’s temple – including the two pillars, the big bronze basin called “The Sea,” the twelve bronze bulls under “The Sea,” ³  and the movable stands – was too heavy to be weighed.

2 Kings 23:4

23:4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the high-ranking priests, ⁶  and the guards ⁷  to bring out of the Lord’s temple all the items that were used in the worship of ⁸  Baal, Asherah, and all the stars of the sky. ⁹  The king ¹⁰  burned them outside of Jerusalem in the terraces ¹¹  of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel. ¹² 

¹ tn Heb “all these vessels.”

² tn Heb “to her son.”

³ tc The MT lacks “the twelve bronze bulls under ‘the Sea,’” but these words have probably been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton. The scribe’s eye may have jumped from the וְהָ (vÿha-) on וְהַבָּקָר (vÿhabbaqar), “and the bulls,” to the וְהָ on וְהַמְּכֹנוֹת (vÿhammÿkhonot), “and the movable stands,” causing him to leave out the intervening words. See the parallel passage in Jer 52:20.

⁴ tn Heb “the sons of the pledges.”

⁶ tn Or “doorkeepers.”

⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
