Compare all
20 The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were atwo hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.  
21 aThen he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name1 Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name2 Boaz.  
22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. So the work of the pillars was finished.

The Sea and the Oxen

23 And he made athe Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.  
24 Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, aall the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.  
25 It stood on atwelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.  
26 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained1 two thousand baths.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
