2 Chronicles 3:15

ANOTHER ONE OF SOLOMON'S SINS: JACHIN AND BOAZ

"And he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was upon each of them was five cubits. And he made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. And he set up the pillars before the temple, one of the right hand, and the other on the left; and he called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz."

(See our full discussion of these pagan pillars which Solomon put in front of the temple in our commentary on 1Kings, pp. 83-85.)

The accounts in Kings and Chronicles vary as to the exact dimensions of those pillars; but so what? They were sinful innovations anyway.
