Context of 2 Chronicles 3:15

13The wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet. They stood on their feet and faced the larger room. 14He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, and he wove cherubim into it. In front of the temple he made two pillars, each 27 feet high. The capital on top of each was 7½ feet high. 16He had made chainwork in the inner sanctuary and also put it on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork. 17Then he set up the pillars in front of the sanctuary, one on the right and one on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz.
