¹⁵ He cast two bronze pillars,^(A) each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.^{[a] 16} He also made two capitals^(B) of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits^[b] high. ¹⁷ A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. ¹⁸ He made pomegranates in two rows^[c] encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars.^[d] He did the same for each capital. ¹⁹ The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits^[e] high. ²⁰ On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates^(C) in rows all around. ²¹ He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin^[f] and the one to the north Boaz.^{[g](D) 22} The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars^(E) was completed.

¹⁷ The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon.^(A) Nothing will be left, says the Lord.

¹⁵ For the front of the temple he made two pillars,^(A) which together were thirty-five cubits^[a] long, each with a capital^(B) five cubits high. ¹⁶ He made interwoven chains^[b](C) and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates^(D) and attached them to the chains. ¹⁷ He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin^[c] and the one to the north Boaz.^[d]

¹⁸ He carried to Babylon all the articles^(A) from the temple of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the Lord’s temple and the treasures of the king and his officials.
