15 Hiram made two bronze columns eight metres tall and almost two metres across.
16 For the top of each column, he also made a bronze cap just over two metres high.
17 The caps were decorated with seven rows of designs that looked like chains,
18 with two rows of designs that looked like pomegranates.
19 The caps for the columns of the porch were almost two metres high and were shaped like lilies.
20 The chain designs on the caps were just above the rounded tops of the two columns, and there were two hundred pomegranates in rows around each cap.
21 Hiram placed the two columns on each side of the main door of the temple. The column on the south side was called Jachin, and the one on the north was called Boaz.
