Two hundred - They are said to be ninety and sixon a side of a pillar; in one row and in all an hundred,#Jer 52:23|, four great pomegranates between the several checker - worksbeing added to the first ninety six. And it must needs be granted, thatthere were as many on the other side of the pillar, or in the other row,which makes them two hundred upon a pillar, as is here said, and fourhundred upon both pillars, as they are numbered, #2Chron 4:13|.
