1 Kings 7:15-20
15He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.1 16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.2 17For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.3
18Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars. 19And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.4 20On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
