1
Now Solomon
was building
his own house
thirteen
years,
and he finished
all
his house.
2
He built
the house
of the forest
of Lebanon;
its length
was 100
cubits
50
">and its width
50
cubits
and its height
30
cubits
,
on four
rows
of cedar
pillars
with cedar
beams
on the
pillars
.
3
It was paneled
with cedar
above
the side chambers
which
were on the 45
pillars,
15
in each row.
4
There were artistic
window
frames
in three
rows,
and
window
was opposite
window
in three
ranks.
5
All
the doorways
and doorposts
had squared
artistic frames,
and
window
was opposite
window
in three
ranks.
6
Then he made
the hall
of pillars;
its length
was 50
cubits
and its width
30
cubits
,
and a porch
was
in front
of them and pillars
and a threshold
in front
of them.
7
He made
the hall
of the throne
where
he was to judge,
the hall
of judgment,
and it was paneled
with cedar
from floor
to floor.
8
His house
where
he was to live,
the other
court
inward
from the
hall
,
was of the same
workmanship.
He also made
a house
like this
hall
for Pharaoh's
daughter,
whom
Solomon
had married.
9
All
these
were of costly
stones,
of stone cut
according to measure,
sawed
with saws,
inside
and outside;
even from the foundation
to the coping,
and so on the outside
to the great
court.
10
The foundation
was of costly
stones
,
even large
stones
,
stones
of ten
cubits
and
stones
of eight
cubits
.
11
And above
were costly
stones,
stone cut
according to measure,
and cedar.
12
So the great
court
all around
had three
rows
of cut stone
and a row
of cedar
beams
even as the inner
court
of the house
of the LORD,
and the porch
of the house
.
13
Now King
Solomon
sent
and brought
Hiram
from Tyre.
14
He was a widow's
son
from the tribe
of Naphtali,
and his father
was a man
of Tyre,
a
work
er
in bronze;
and he was filled
with wisdom
and understanding
and skill
for doing
any
work
in bronze.
So he came
to King
Solomon
and performed
all
his
work
.
15
He fashioned
the two
pillars
of bronze;
eighteen
cubits
was the height
of one
pillar,
and a line
of twelve
cubits
measured the circumference
of both.
16
He also made
two
capitals
of molten
bronze
to set
on the tops
of the pillars;
the height
of the one
capital
was five
cubits
and
the height
of the other
capital
was five
cubits
.
17
There were nets of network
and twisted threads
of chainwork
for the capitals
which
were on the top
of the pillars;
seven
for the one
capital
and
seven
for the other
capital
.
18
So he made
the pillars,
and two
rows
around
on the one
network
to cover
the capitals
which
were on the top
of the pomegranates;
and so
he did
for the other
capital.
19
The capitals
which
were on the top
of the pillars
in the porch
were of lily
design,
four
cubits.
20
There were capitals
on the two
pillars,
even
above
and close
to the rounded projection
which
was beside
the network;
and the pomegranates
numbered two hundred
in rows
around
both
capitals.
21
Thus he set
up the pillars
at the porch
of the nave;
and he set
up the right
pillar
and named
it Jachin,
and he set
up the left
pillar
and named
it Boaz.
22
On the top
of the pillars
was lily
design.
So the work
of the pillars
was finished.
23
Now he made
the sea
of cast
metal ten
cubits
from brim to brim,
circular
in form,
and its height
was five
cubits
,
and thirty
cubits
in circumference.
24
Under
its brim
gourds
went around
encircling
it ten
to a cubit,
completely
surrounding
the sea;
the
gourds
were in two
rows,
cast
with the rest.
25
It stood
on twelve
oxen,
three
facing
north,
three
facing
west,
three
facing
south,
and
three
facing
east;
and the sea
was set on top
of them, and all
their rear parts
turned inward.
26
It was a handbreadth
thick,
and its brim
was made
like the brim
of a cup,
as a lily
blossom;
it could hold
two thousand
baths.
27
Then he made
the ten
stands
of bronze;
the length
of each
stand
was
four
cubits
and its width
four
cubits
and its height
three
cubits
.
28
This
was the design
of the stands:
they had borders,
even borders
between
the frames,
29
and on the borders
which
were between
the frames
were lions,
oxen
and cherubim;
and on
the frames
there was a pedestal
above,
and beneath
the lions
and
oxen
were wreaths
of hanging
work.
30
Now each
stand
had four
bronze
wheels
with
bronze
axles,
and its four
feet
had
supports
;
beneath
the basin
were cast
supports
with wreaths
at each
side.
31
Its opening
inside
the crown
at the top
was
a cubit
,
and its opening
was round
like the design
of a pedestal,
a cubit
and a half;
and also
on its opening
there were engravings,
and their borders
were square,
not round.
32
The four
wheels
were underneath
the borders,
and the axles
of the
wheels
were on the stand.
And the height
of a wheel
was a cubit
and a half.
33
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
Now there were four
supports
at the four
corners
of each
stand;
its
supports
were part of the stand
itself.
35
On the top
of the stand
there was a circular
form
half
a cubit
high,
and on the top
of the stand
its stays
and its borders
were part
of it.
36
He engraved
on the plates
of its stays
and on its borders,
cherubim,
lions
and palm trees,
according to the clear space
on each,
with wreaths
all around.
37
He made
the ten
stands
like this:
all
of them had
one
casting,
one
measure
and
one
form.
38
He made
ten
basins
of bronze,
one
basin
held
forty
baths;
each
basin
was four
cubits,
and on
each
of the
ten
stands
was
one
basin
.
39
Then he set
the stands,
five
on the right
side
of the house
and
five
on the left
side
of the house
;
and he set
the sea
of cast metal
on the right
side
of the house
eastward
toward
the south.
40
Now Hiram
made
the basins
and the shovels
and the bowls.
So Hiram
finished
doing
all
the work
which
he performed
for King
Solomon
in the house
of the LORD:
41
the two
pillars
and
the two
bowls
of the capitals
which
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 the four
hundred
pomegranates
for
the
two
networks,
two
rows
of
pomegranates
for each
network
to cover
the
two
bowls
of the capitals
which
were on the tops
of the pillars;
43
and the ten
stands
with the ten
basins
on the
stands
;
44
and the one
sea
and the twelve
oxen
under
the
sea
;
45
and the pails
and the shovels
and the bowls;
even all
these
utensils
which
Hiram
made
for King
Solomon
in the house
of the LORD
were of polished
bronze.
46
In the plain
of the Jordan
the king
cast
them, in the clay
ground
between
Succoth
and Zarethan.
47
Solomon
left
all
the utensils
unweighed, because
they were too
many;
the weight
of the bronze
could not be ascertained.
48
Solomon
made
all
the furniture
which
was in the house
of the LORD:
the golden
altar
and
the golden
table
on
which
was the bread
of the Presence;
49
and the lampstands,
five
on the right side
and
five
on the left,
in front
of the inner sanctuary,
of pure
gold;
and the flowers
and the lamps
and the tongs,
of
gold;
50
and the cups
and the snuffers
and the bowls
and the spoons
and the firepans,
of pure
gold;
and the hinges
both for the doors
of the inner
house,
the most
holy place,
and for the doors
of the
house,
that is, of the nave,
of gold.
51
Thus all
the work
that King
Solomon
performed
in the house
of the LORD
was finished.
And
Solomon
brought
in the things dedicated
by his father
David,
the silver
and the gold
and the utensils,
and he put
them in the treasuries
of the house
of the LORD
.
