Contextual Overview

13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and had Huram brought to him. 14 Huram's mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali. His father was from Tyre and had been skilled in making things from bronze. Huram was also very skilled and experienced in bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all the bronze work. 15 He made two bronze pillars, each one twenty-seven feet tall and eighteen feet around. 16 He also made two bronze capitals that were seven and one-half feet tall, and he put them on top of the pillars. 17 Then he made a net of seven chains for each capital, which covered the capitals on top of the two pillars. 18 He made two rows of bronze pomegranates to go on the nets. These covered the capitals at the top of the pillars. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies, and they were six feet tall. 20 The capitals were on top of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped section and next to the nets. At that place there were two hundred pomegranates in rows all around the capitals. 21 Huram put these two bronze pillars at the porch of the Temple. He named the south pillar He Establishes and the north pillar In Him Is Strength. 22 The capitals on top of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on 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.
