Contextual Overview
10 Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made to put in the most holy place, and he covered them with gold. 11Each creature had two wings and was fifteen feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. Solomon set them next to each other in the most holy place, facing the doorway. Their wings were spread out and reached all the way across the thirty foot room. 14 A curtain was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with designs of winged creatures. 15 Two columns were made for the entrance to the temple. Each one was fifty-two feet tall and had a cap on top that was seven and a half feet high. 16 The top of each column was decorated with designs that looked like chains and with a hundred carvings of pomegranates. 17 Solomon had one of the columns placed on the south side of the temple's entrance; it was called Jachin. The other one was placed on the north side of the entrance; it was called Boaz.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The word translated “image work,” or, in the margin, “moveable work,” occurs only in this passage, and has not even a Hebrew derivation. Modern Hebraists find an Arabic derivation, and explain the word to mean “carved work.”
