Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - Jachin... Boaz. The margin of our Authorized Version gives with sufficient correctness the meaning of these names of the pillars, which purport to set forth the safety and sure strength that belong to those who wait on, and who calmly and constantly abide by, the Divine leading. The latter, however, is one word, a substantive, not a compound of preposition, pronoun, and substantive; and the former, though by derivation the future of the hiph. conjugation of the verb הוּן, is established as a substantive in its own right.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Before the temple.--Vulg., in vestibulo templi. So 1Kings 7:21 has, "at the porch of the temple." 1Kings 7:22 adds, "and upon the top of the pillars was lily-work."Jachin . . . Boaz.--See 1Kings 7:21. "The description of the two brazen pillars," says Reuss, "much more detailed in 1Kings 7:15 ff., has become almost unintelligible, under the pen of the abbreviate." This is a strong exaggeration. He also pronounces the word bad-debir in 2Chronicles 3:16 "absolutely unintelligible," and to be accounted "foreign to the text." How little we agree with this hasty decision will be evident from our Note on that verse. . . .
