1 Kings 7:18, 20, 42 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars. / On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital. / the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
Jeremiah 52:22, 23 The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar. / Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
