This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the porch of the temple; where they were placed for mere ornament and magnificence, for they supported nothing.
Jachin signifies he, i.e. God, shall establish, to wit, his temple, and church, and people; and
Boaz signifies in it, or rather, in him, (to answer the he in the former name,) is strength. So these pillars being eminently strong and stable, were in a manner types or documents of that strength which was in God, and would be put forth by God for the defending and establishing of his temple and people, if they were careful to keep the conditions required by God on their parts.
