Rashi on II Kings
The height of the crown was three amohs. And in the beginning of the Book [of Melochim] it states, ”five amohs [high].”9Melochim 7:16. I reconciled the verses there.10Rashi reconciled the difference as follows: The crown was actually five amohs high but its two lower amohs are not counted because the column was inserted into the crown two amohs deep and it served as a base for the crown.
