Barnes's 1-kings 7:18 Bible Commentary
The pomegranate was one of the most common ornaments in Assyria. It was used on quivers, on spear-shafts, and maceheads, in patterns on doorways and pavements, etc. It is doubtful whether a symbolic meaning was attached to it, or whether it was merely selected as a beautiful natural form.
Wesley's 1-kings 7:18 Bible Commentary
7:18 Two rows - Either of pomegranates, by comparing this with ver. 20 , or of some other curious work.
