1 Kings 7:21

The Pillars and Capitals

20On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital. 21Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.22And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
