Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 7:16
7:16 Five cubits - The word chapiter is taken either more largelyfor the whole, so it is five cubits; Or, more strictly, either for thepommels, as they are called, #2Chron 4:12|, or for the cornice orcrown, and so it was but three cubits, to which the pomegranates beingadded make it four cubits, as it is below, ver.#19|, and the otherwork upon it took up one cubit more, which in all made five cubits.
