Barnes's 1-kings 7:20 Bible Commentary
In this verse also a portion of the original text is supposed to have fallen out in consequence of the repetition of words. The full phrase of the original has been retained in 1 Kings 7:16-17. It may be restored thus: "And the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the one chapiter, and two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter." The "four hundred" 1 Kings 7:42; 2 Chronicles 4:13, are obtained by counting the pomegranates of both pillars together. In Jeremiah 52:23, is an account of the arrangement of a single row of pomegranates, whereof each pillar had two.
Wesley's 1-kings 7:20 Bible Commentary
7:20 The belly - So he calls the middle part of the chapiter, which jetted farthest out. Two hundred - They are said to be ninety and sixon a side of a pillar; in one row and in all an hundred, Jeremiah 52:23 , four great pomegranates between the several checker - worksbeing added to the first ninety six. And it must needs be granted, thatthere were as many on the other side of the pillar, or in the other row,which makes them two hundred upon a pillar, as is here said, and fourhundred upon both pillars, as they are numbered, 2 Chronicles 4:13 .
