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 Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 27 feet high. And each was 18 feet around.

16 Each pillar had a decorated top that was made out of bronze. Each top was seven and a half feet high.

17 Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top.

18 Huram made two rows of pomegranates. They circled the chains. The pomegranates decorated the tops of the pillars. Huram did the same thing for each pillar.

19 The tops on the pillars of the porch were shaped like lilies. The lilies were 6 feet high.
