What Does 1 Kings 7:20 Mean?
More detail is given: above the rounded swell of each capital, by the latticework, were arranged two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling the crown. The ornament was lavish and carefully counted.
The sheer number, two hundred to each crown, speaks of overflowing abundance rather than mere decoration. God's house was not adorned sparingly. So His mercies toward His people are past counting, new every morning. Where the Lord dwells, blessing is not measured out grudgingly but heaped up and running over.
