1 Kings 7:20

18 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.

19 And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.

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.

21 Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.

22 And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
