Contextual Overview

13Now King Solomon sent word and brought Hiram [a skilled craftsman] from Tyre. 14He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Hiram was filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill for doing any [kind of] work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and did all his [bronze] work. 15He cast the two pillars of bronze; the one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a [measuring] line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both. 16He also made two capitals (crowns) of cast bronze to put on the tops of the pillars; the height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17There were nets of network (lattice-work) and twisted threads (wreaths) of chainwork for the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars, seven for one capital and seven for the other. 18So Hiram made the pillars [in this manner], and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and he did the same for the other capital. 19The capitals which were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work (design), four cubits. 20The capitals were on the two pillars and also above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around both capitals. 21Hiram set up the pillars at the porch of the temple; he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin (may he establish), and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz (in it is strength). 22On the tops of the pillars was lily work (design). So the work of the pillars was finished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base,.... Or pillars, as in 1 Kings 7:30

and the undersetters were of the base itself; they were cast together, and of the same piece of metal with it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The undersetters were cast with the base, not afterward attached to it, and were therefore stronger and better able to support the laver.
