Melachim Alef 7:18

18 And he made the ammudim, and two rows around the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the rosh (top) with pomegranates; and the same did he for the second capital.

Melachim Alef 7:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:18

And he made the pillars
Or adorned them in this manner:

and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters
that were upon the top, with pomegranates;
that is, there were two rows of figures like pomegranates upon the net or branch work that covered the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; and Kimchi owns, that some copies so read, on the top of the pillars, instead of pomegranates, though he thinks it a mistake:

and so did he for the other chapiter;
put two rows about that also.

Melachim Alef 7:18 In-Context

16 And he made two capitals of mutzak nechoshet (cast bronze), to set upon the tops of the ammudim; the height of the one capital was 5 cubits, and the height of the other capital was 5 cubits:

17 And plaiting of net work, and ropes of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the ammudim, seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

18 And he made the ammudim, and two rows around the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the rosh (top) with pomegranates; and the same did he for the second capital.

19 And the capitals that were upon the rosh of the ammudim were of shushan (lily) work in the Ulam, four cubits.

20 And the capitals upon the two ammudim had pomegranates also above, over against the bulge which was next to the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows encircling the second capital.
