Context of 2 Chronicles 3:15

14Solomon's workers used blue, purple and red material and good linen to make a special curtain. It had pictures of cherubs on it. Solomon's workers made two pillars to stand at the front of the temple. They were 16 metres high. There was a piece on the top of each pillar that was 2.2 metres high. 16They made images of chains around the top pieces of the pillars. They also made 100 images of pomegranates among the chains. 17Then they put the two pillars at the entrance of the temple. One pillar stood on the south side of the entrance. The other pillar stood on the north side. Solomon called the pillar on the south side ‘Jakin’. He called the pillar on the north side ‘Boaz’.
