Five cubits - The word chapiter is taken either more largely for the whole, so it is five cubits; Or, more strictly, either for the pommels, as they are called, Ch2 4:12, or for the cornice or crown, and so it was but three cubits, to which the pomegranates being added make it four cubits, as it is below, Kg1 7:19, and the other work upon it took up one cubit more, which in all made five cubits. 3 Kings (1 Kings) 7:17
