1 Kings 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:17

And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the
chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars
These were the ornaments of the chapiters; the former being like thick branches of trees, with their boughs and leaves curiously wrought, as the word signifies, and the latter like fringes, such as the Jews wore at the skirt of their garments:

seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter;
perhaps with four rows of checker work, and three of chain work.

1 Kings 7:17 In-Context

15 He made two bronze pillars. Each was 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference.

16 He made two capitals of cast bronze to put on top of the pillars. Each capital was 7½ feet high.

17 He also made seven rows of filigree and chains for each capital.

18 After he made the pillars, he made two rows [of decorations] around the filigree to cover the capitals which were above the pillars. He made the capitals identical to each other.

19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the entrance hall were lily-shaped. [Each] was six feet high.
