1 Kings 7:18 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 7:18

16 Then he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

17 He made a lattice network, with wreaths of chainwork, for the capitals which were on top of the pillars: seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital.

18 So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

19 The capitals which were on top of the pillars in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits.

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.
