Caldron
prop. a large cooking vessel, is the rendering in certain passages of the Auth. Vers. for the following words:
1. , agmon` (Job 41:20 [12]), a heated kettle, others a burning reed (rush else-where);
2. , dud (2Ch 35:13; pot, Job 41:20 [12]; Psa 81:6; kettle, 1Sa 2:14), a large boiler (also a basket);
3. , sir (Jer 52:18-19; Eze 11:3; Eze 11:7; Eze 11:11, elsewhere pot), the most general term for a kettle or basin (also a thorn);
4. , kallach’ath (1Sa 2:14; Mic 3:3), a pan or pot (so called from pouring) ;

Caldron
koldrun (the rendering of , kallahath, , sr, , dudh , ‘aghmon) : Kallahath is found only in 1Sa 2:14; Mic 3:3. It is a pot for cooking, of undefined size and characteristics, in the former passage for sanctuary use, in the latter for domestic. Sr is translated caldron in Jer 1:13 (Revised Versions); Jer 52:18 f (the King James Version); Eze 11:3, Eze 11:7, Eze 11:11. It was distinctly a large pot, employed both for domestic use and in the sanctuary. Dudh is translated caldron only in 2Ch 35:13. It was also a pot for cooking. ‘Aghmon is translated caldron by the King James Version in Job 41:20, but it is a mistranslation; the Revised Version (British and American) correctly has rushes.

Caldron
Eze 11:3-7 (a) This is a type of Jerusalem. As broth boils in the kettle, so the inhabitants of Jerusalem were to suffer under the fire of cruel invaders.
Mic 3:3 (a) This caldron is a picture of the terrible boiling, burning troubles that were to come upon the people because of the wrath of GOD. They were as helpless to get out of their trouble as the contents of the kettle were unable to get out of it.
