2 Chronicles 3:16
And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
2 Chronicles 3:16 belongs to the account of Solomon's building of the temple of God, coming after David's purpose to build a house of God which was refused, David's gathering of material for the building, and Solomon's call to the kingdom with the perplexities incident to establishing his reign, and leading to the temple's solemn dedication. It describes chains made as in the oracle and put on the heads, tops, or capitals of the pillars, with one hundred pomegranates made and put on the chains.
Solomon's temple was a permanent and enlarged version of the tabernacle, built on a larger and grander scale with greater size and more sanctuary vessels, over seven years and six months. It was built on the same plan as the tabernacle, with two holy places and sacred vessels and furnishings for the same ministry. It was built according to the pattern given to David by the Spirit.
Its two-part design serves as a pattern of the heavenly temple, supporting that the heavenly sanctuary also has two corresponding holy places. The temple as a whole, not only its innermost room, is a pattern of the heavenly sanctuary.
