1 Kings 7:15-20

15He fashioned 1the two pillars of bronze; 2eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits 3measured the circumference of both.

16He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five 4cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

17There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

18So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

19The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.

20There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the 5rounded projection which was beside the network; and 6the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around 7both capitals.
