CHECKER-WORK; (NETWORK)

chek'-er-wurk (sebhakhah): This was a kind of ornamentation used on the tops of the pillars of Jachin and Boaz before the porch of the Temple (1 Kings 7:17). Its exact form is not known. See TEMPLE. For "a broidered coat" (Exodus 28:4 the King James Version), the Revised Version (British and American) gives "a coat of checker work."

See BROIDERED; EMBROIDERY.

NETWORK

net'-wurk (sebhakhah): the Revised Version (British and American) in 2 Kings 25:17 2 Chronicles 4:13 (also in the plural, 4:12, 13), for "wreathen work" and "wreath" in the King James Version (of the adornment of the capitals of the pillars of Solomon's temple; see JACHIN AND BOAZ). "Networks" in Isaiah 19:9 is in the Revised Version (British and American) correctly rendered "white cloth." In the American Standard Revised Version "network" is substituted for "pictures" in the King James Version (Proverbs 25:11), "baskets" in the English Revised Version margin "filigree work."
