In the previous verse, the author described the upper part of each capital. In this verse, he describes the lower part of each capital, the part just above the pillars. As he specifies which part he is referring to, he provides new information about the shape of this part. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could show in your translation that he is providing new information. Alternate translation: [And as for the part of the capitals just above the two pillars, the part that was on the other side of the network, it was shaped like a belly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֲשֶׁ֖ר לְ⁠עֵ֣בֶר הַ⁠שְּׂבָכָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],capitals on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in two_of the,pillars also/yet from,above from,to,near_of the,bulge which/who [was]_to,the_side_of שבכה and,the,pomegranates two_hundreds rows all_around on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,capital the=second(fs) )

The author is describing the location of this part of the capitals relative to the network of bronze strands in a way characteristic of his culture. He means that if someone were looking at the capitals, they would see the network of bronze strands, and they would see the belly-shaped lower part of the capital behind or on the other side of those bronze strands. Express this in the way people of your culture describe the location of one thing relative to another, or use plain language to express the meaning. Alternate translation: [that was behind the network] or [that was covered by the network]
