The Two Bronze Columns (1KI 7:15-22)

[7:15] Huram cast two bronze columns, each one 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference, and placed them at the entrance of the Temple.

[7:16] He also made two bronze capitals, each one 7½ feet tall, to be placed on top of the columns.

[7:17] The top of each column was decorated with a design of interwoven chains

[7:18] and two rows of bronze pomegranates.

[7:19] The capitals were shaped like lilies, 6 feet tall,

[7:20] and were placed on a rounded section which was above the chain design. There were 200 pomegranates in two rows around each capital.

[7:21] Huram placed these two bronze columns in front of the entrance of the Temple: the one on the south side was named Jachin and the one on the north was named Boaz.

[7:22] The lily-shaped bronze capitals were on top of the columns. And so the work on the columns was completed.
