2 Chronicles 3

Verse 5, JB has festoons for שׁרשׁרה, a nice word that I won't use since this שׁרשׁרה is a word used of the creation of the vestments in Exodus 28 and I should gloss it the same, links, even though it is not a golf course. Palm trees figure in the last chapters of Ezekiel (40, 41, 48) as components of the temple but not at all in Exodus. No golfing metaphor there either.

Verse 12, the wings are not symmetrically described. Two differing verbs are used, touch vs cling (or cleave or stay close). KJV notes the difference, though its gloss join I have used elsewhere. JB and NIV make the language symmetric.

Interesting names for the pillars. I don't know of any independent justification of the possible meaning of Boaz.
