"How high was the chapiter?" (Alleged Contradiction #E3204)
And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
Jeremiah 52:22
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
II Kings 25:17
Response
The chapiter was five cubits “with network and pomegranates,” but it was only three cubits without it. II Kings 25:17 refers to the wreathen work and pomegranates separately.
