The number four hundred signifies abundance and completeness, often used in the Bible to denote a large quantity. Pomegranates are a symbol of fertility and prosperity in the ancient Near East, and their use in the temple signifies the fruitfulness and blessing of God. The "two sets of network" refers to the intricate latticework that adorned the temple pillars, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the temple's construction.<p><b>two rows of pomegranates for each network</b><br>This phrase indicates the arrangement of the pomegranates, which were placed in two rows. This design choice reflects the order and symmetry valued in ancient architecture, particularly in sacred spaces. The dual rows may symbolize balance and harmony, important themes in the worship and service of God. The use of pomegranates in this manner also connects to the priestly garments described in <a href="/exodus/28-33.htm">Exodus 28:33-34</a>, where pomegranates were part of the hem of the robe, symbolizing holiness and divine presence.<p><b>covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars</b><br>The "bowl-shaped capitals" refer to the tops of the two bronze pillars, Jachin and Boaz, which stood at the entrance of the temple. These capitals were ornate and served both a decorative and symbolic purpose. The covering of the capitals with pomegranates suggests a crown-like adornment, signifying authority and majesty. The pillars themselves are significant, representing strength and stability, and their placement at the temple entrance underscores the importance of entering God's presence with reverence. The design of the capitals and their decoration with pomegranates may also point to the beauty and glory of God's creation, as well as the richness of His provision.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple in Jerusalem, a central figure in the construction of the temple and its furnishings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/hiram.htm">Hiram (Huram)</a></b><br>A skilled craftsman from Tyre, brought in by Solomon to oversee the creation of the temple's bronze work, including the pomegranates and capitals.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_of_solomon.htm">Temple of Solomon</a></b><br>The first temple built in Jerusalem, serving as the central place of worship for the Israelites and a symbol of God's presence among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/pomegranates.htm">Pomegranates</a></b><br>Decorative elements used in the temple's design, symbolizing fruitfulness and abundance, often associated with the Promised Land.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/capitals_and_pillars.htm">Capitals and Pillars</a></b><br>Architectural features of the temple, with the capitals being the ornate tops of the pillars, signifying strength and beauty.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_pomegranates.htm">Symbolism of Pomegranates</a></b><br>The pomegranates symbolize fruitfulness and abundance, reminding believers of the spiritual fruitfulness that comes from a life rooted in Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/craftsmanship_and_excellence.htm">Craftsmanship and Excellence</a></b><br>The detailed work of Hiram reflects the importance of using our God-given talents with excellence for His glory, encouraging believers to pursue excellence in their own work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_and_holiness.htm">God's Presence and Holiness</a></b><br>The temple, with its intricate design, represents God's holy presence among His people, calling believers to live lives that reflect His holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/legacy_of_worship.htm">Legacy of Worship</a></b><br>The construction of the temple serves as a reminder of the importance of creating spaces and traditions that honor God and facilitate worship for future generations.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_chronicles_4.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Chronicles 4</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/are_temple_artifacts'_accounts_inaccurate.htm">2 Kings 25:13-17 claims the Babylonians took all temple artifacts, yet some items appear in later narratives--does this reflect a historical inaccuracy?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/are_temple_details_in_2_chron._4_12-13_real.htm">Could the decorative details of the temple (2 Chronicles 4:12-13) realistically match ancient manufacturing capabilities, or are these descriptions exaggerated?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_was_obed-edom_blessed,_uzza_killed.htm">(1 Chronicles 13:13) Why is Obed-edom blessed for housing the Ark even though Uzza was killed for a seemingly minor infraction involving the same object?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/2_chron_13__any_non-biblical_evidence.htm">2 Chronicles 13 - Are there any archaeological or extra-biblical sources that verify the details of this battle's scale and outcome?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/4.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) <span class= "bld">Two rows.</span>--See <a href="/1_kings/7-42.htm" title="And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;">1Kings 7:42</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 13.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Four hundred pomegranates</span>.
