• 1 Kgs 7:1-9 : 1 But Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 2 He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was opposite light in three ranks. 5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows; and light was opposite light in three ranks. 6 And he made a porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits. The porch was in front of them, and the other pillars and the thick beam were in front of them. 7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment, and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 8 And his house where he lived had another court inside the porch, of similar workmanship. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife, like this porch. 9 All these were made of costly stones, cut to size, sawed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, cut to size, and cedar. 12 And the great court all around was with three rows of cut stones and a row of cedar beams, for the inner court of the house of the LORD and for the porch of the house. 13 And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill to work all works in bronze. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work. 15 For he cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits encircled each pillar. 16 And he made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 And nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals upon the top of the pillars; seven for one capital and seven for the other capital. 18 And he made the pillars and two rows around on one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. 19 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 20 And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, opposite the bulge by the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows around the other capital. 21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple, and he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work; thus the work of the pillars was finished. 23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from one rim to the other; it was round all about, and its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits encircled it. 24 And under the brim around it were knobs encircling it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea all around; the knobs were cast in two rows when it was cast. 25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set upon them, and all their hind parts were inward. 26 And it was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths. 27 And he made ten bases of bronze; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height. 28 And the workmanship of the bases was as follows: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges. 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a base above, and beneath the lions and oxen were additions of thin work. 30 And each base had four bronze wheels and plates of bronze, and the four corners had supports; the supports were molten beneath the lavers, at the side of each addition. 31 And the opening in the top of the base was within the capital and above one cubit; but the mouth was round after the shape of the base, a cubit and a half; and there were engravings with their borders, square, not round. 32 And the four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. 34 And there were four supports at the four corners of each base; the supports themselves were part of the base. 35 And on the top of the base was a circular piece half a cubit high; and on the top of the base, its ledges and its borders were part of it. 36 On the plates of its ledges and on its borders, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the open space on each, with wreaths all around. 37 Thus he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 38 Then he made ten bronze lavers; each laver held forty baths, each laver was four cubits; on each of the ten bases, one laver. 39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house, eastward, toward the south. 40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work he did for King Solomon for the house of the LORD: 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars; 43 The ten bases and ten lavers on the bases; 44 The one sea and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 And the pots, the shovels, and the basins. All these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of polished bronze. 46 In the plain of the Jordan, the king cast them, in clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were exceedingly many; neither was the weight of the bronze ascertained. 48 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which was the showbread, 49 And the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 50 And the bowls, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple. 51 Thus was completed all the work that King Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated: the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and he put them among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
