Exegesis
The plural noun sharsherot {שַׁרְשְׁרוֹת | šar-šər-ōṯ} functions as repeated decorative units, while the locative phrase badvir {בַּדְּבִיר | bad-də-vîr} ‘in the inner sanctuary’ employs the preposition + definite article to mark sacred space.
In context — 2 Chronicles 3:16
He made chains in the inner sanctuary and set them on the tops of the pillars. He made one hundred pomegranates and placed them on the chains.
