| II Chronicles 4:12 | That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the net-work to cover the chapiters over the pommels. | Pommels, (epistylia.) Hebrew, "cordons," or rows of pomegranates, (3 Kings 7:18.) each consisting of one hundred; so that as the two pillars were adorned with a double row, both together would have four hundred. (Calmet) --- The precise number is fixed at ninety-six for each row, Jeremias 52:23. (Tirinus) |
