Context of 2 Chronicles 3:14

12The wing of the other one of the angels was 7½ feet long and touched the other wall of the building. Its other wing was 7½ feet long and touched the wing of the first. So the angels’ combined wingspan was 30 feet. 13They stood on their feet and faced the main hall. Solomon made the canopy of violet, purple, and dark red cloth and of linen and decorated it with angels. 15He made two pillars for the front of the temple. They were 53 feet long, and the capital on each pillar was 7½ feet ⌞high⌟. 16He made chains for the inner room and ⌞also⌟ put them on the capitals. He made 100 pomegranates and put them on the chains.
