What does 2 Chronicles 3:17 mean?

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 17 He reared up the pillars - "The name of that on the right hand was Jachin, because the kingdom of the house of David was established; and the name of the left was Boaz, from the name of Boaz the patriarch of the family of Judah, from whom all the kings of the house of Judah have descended." - Targum. See on 1Kgs 7:21 (note); and see the parallel places for other matters contained in this chapter.
