1 Kings 7:15-20

15He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.

16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high.

17A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital.

18He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital.

19The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.

20On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
