Definitions for 1-kings 7:17
Barnes's 1-kings 7:17 Bible Commentary
Nets ... - Rather "Nets chequerwise, and festoons chainwise," - probably a fine network over the whole, and chainwork hanging in festoons outside.
Seven for the one chapiter - The Septuagint reading is preferable. "A net for the one chapiter and a net for the other chapiter." Compare 1 Kings 7:41.
Wesley's 1-kings 7:17 Bible Commentary
7:17 The chapiters - Which those nets and wreathes encompass, either covering, and as it were receiving and holding the pomegranates, or beingmixed with them.
