Context of 2 Chronicles 3:14

12Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub. 13The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall. He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it. 15For the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital five cubits high. 16He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
