2 Chronicles 3:15-17
New Living Translation
15 For the front of the Temple, he made two pillars that were 27 feet[a] tall, each topped by a capital extending upward another 7 1⁄2 feet. 16 He made a network of interwoven chains[b] and used them to decorate the tops of the pillars. He also made 100 decorative pomegranates and attached them to the chains. 17 Then he set up the two pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one to the south of the entrance and the other to the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.[c]
