CAPITAL

In architecture, the uppermost part of a pillar, often ornately fashioned. Capitals (KJB “chapiter”) topped the five pillars of the tabernacle during the wilderness wanderings of the people of Israel (Ex 36:38), as well as the pillars called Boaz and Jachin in King Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 7:16-22, 40-42).
