Context of 2 Chronicles 3:15

13The combined wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet. They stood upright, facing inward. 14He made the curtain out of violet, purple, crimson, and white fabrics, and embroidered on it decorative cherubim. In front of the temple he made two pillars which had a combined length of 52½ feet, with each having a plated capital seven and one-half feet high. 16He made ornamental chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made one hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments and arranged them within the chains. 17He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right side and the other on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin, and the one on the left Boaz.
