1KI-7:1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
1KI-7:2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the
length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof
fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four
rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
1KI-7:3 And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams,
that [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row.
1KI-7:4 And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light
[was] against light [in] three ranks.
1KI-7:5 And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the
windows: and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
1KI-7:6 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was]
fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the
porch [was] before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick
beam [were] before them.
1KI-7:7 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.
1KI-7:8 And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within
the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an
house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like
unto this porch.
1KI-7:9 All these [were of] costly stones, according to the
measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without,
even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the
outside toward the great court.
1KI-7:10 And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great
stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
1KI-7:11 And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of
hewed stones, and cedars.
1KI-7:12 And the great court round about [was] with three rows
of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner
court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
1KI-7:13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
1KI-7:14 He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and
his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was
filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all
works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his
work.
1KI-7:15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits
high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of
them about.
1KI-7:16 And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set
upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter
[was] five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter [was]
five cubits:
1KI-7:17 [And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work,
for the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars;
seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
1KI-7:18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon
the one network, to cover the chapiters that [were] upon the top,
with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
1KI-7:19 And the chapiters that [were] upon the top of the
pillars [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
1KI-7:20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars [had
pomegranates] also above, over against the belly which [was] by
the network: and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows
round about upon the other chapiter.
1KI-7:21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple:
and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof
Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name
thereof Boaz.
1KI-7:22 And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work: so was
the work of the pillars finished.
1KI-7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim
to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was]
five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round
about.
1KI-7:24 And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops
compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about:
the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast.
1KI-7:25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the
north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking
toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea
[was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were]
inward.
1KI-7:26 And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim
thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of
lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
1KI-7:27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the
length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and
three cubits the height of it.
1KI-7:28 And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner]: they
had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:
1KI-7:29 And on the borders that [were] between the ledges
[were] lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges [there
was] a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain
additions made of thin work.
1KI-7:30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of
brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the
laver [were] undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
1KI-7:31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was]
a cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of
the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it
[were] gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
1KI-7:32 And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the
axletrees of the wheels [were joined] to the base: and the
height of a wheel [was] a cubit and half a cubit.
1KI-7:33 And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a
chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their
felloes, and their spokes, [were] all molten.
1KI-7:34 And [there were] four undersetters to the four corners
of one base: [and] the undersetters [were] of the very base
itself.
1KI-7:35 And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass
of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges
thereof and the borders thereof [were] of the same.
1KI-7:36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the
borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees,
according to the proportion of every one, and additions round
about.
1KI-7:37 After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them
had one casting, one measure, [and] one size.
1KI-7:38 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained
forty baths: [and] every laver was four cubits: [and] upon every
one of the ten bases one laver.
1KI-7:39 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 over against the south.
1KI-7:40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the
basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made
king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
1KI-7:41 The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters
that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks,
