1 Kings 7:15-21

15 ^aHe cast ^btwo pillars of bronze. ^cEighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. ^{▼▼Targum, Syriac (compare Septuagint and Jeremiah 52:21); Hebrew fingers. And a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of the second pillar} 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and ^ethe height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew seven; twice in this verse} for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18 Likewise he made pomegranates ^{▼▼Two manuscripts (compare Septuagint); Hebrew pillars} in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital. 19 Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 The capitals were on the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the latticework. There were ^htwo hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital. 21 ⁱHe set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple. He set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz.

2 Kings 25:17

17 ^jThe height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} and on it was a capital of bronze. The height of the capital was three cubits. A latticework and pomegranates, all of bronze, were all around the capital. And the second pillar had the same, with the latticework.

2 Chronicles 3:15-17

15 ^lIn front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. 16 He made chains like a necklace ^{▼▼Hebrew chains in the inner sanctuary} and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 ⁿHe set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Boaz.
