The Pillars and Capitals

The Pillars and Capitals

(2 Chronicles 3:14–17)

13 Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram[fn] from Tyre. 14 He [was] the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.

15 He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.[fn] 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, [each] capital five cubits high.[fn] 17 For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for [each] capital.[fn]

18 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around [each] grating to cover each capital atop [the pillars]. 19 And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits [high].[fn] 20 On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, [were] the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.

21 Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin,[fn] and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.[fn] 22 And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.

7:13 Hebrew Hiram, a variant of Huram; also in verses 40 and 45; see 2 Chronicles 4:11. Note that this is not Hiram king of Tyre mentioned in 1 Kings 5:1.

7:15 Each pillar was approximately 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference (8.2 meters high and 5.5 meters in circumference).

7:16 5 cubits is approximately 7.5 feet or 2.3 meters.

7:17 Hebrew; LXX one for each capital

7:19 4 cubits is approximately 6 feet or 1.8 meters; also in verse 38.

7:21 Jachin probably means He establishes.

7:21 Boaz probably means in Him is strength.
