1
But
Solomon
was
building
his
own
house
thirteen
years,
and
he
finished
all
his
house.
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.
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]
against
light
[in]
three
ranks.
5
And
all
the
doors
and
posts
[were]
square,
with
the
windows:
and
light
[was]
against
light
[in]
three
ranks.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
after
the
measures
of
hewed
stones,
and
cedars.
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.
13
And
king
Solomon
sent
and
fetched
Hiram
out
of
Tyre.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
19
And
the
chapiters
that
[were]
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars
[were]
of
lily
work
in
the
porch,
four
cubits.
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.
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.
22
And
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars
[was]
lily
work:
so
was
the
work
of
the
pillars
finished.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
28
And
the
work
of
the
bases
[was]
on
this
[manner]:
they
had
borders,
and
the
borders
[were]
between
the
ledges:
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.
30
And
every
base
had
four
brasen
wheels,
and
plates
of
brass:
and
the
four
corners
thereof
had
undersetters:
under
the
laver
[were]
undersetters
molten,
at
the
side
of
every
addition.
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.
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.
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.
34
And
[there
were]
four
undersetters
to
the
four
corners
of
one
base:
[and]
the
undersetters
[were]
of
the
very
base
itself.
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.
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.
37
After
this
[manner]
he
made
the
ten
bases:
all
of
them
had
one
casting,
one
measure,
[and]
one
size.
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.
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.
40
And
Hiram
made
the
lavers,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
basons.
So
Hiram
made
an
end
of
doing
all
the
work
that
he
made
king
Solomon
for
the
house
of
the
LORD:
41
The
two
pillars,
and
the
[two]
bowls
of
the
chapiters
that
[were]
on
the
top
of
the
two
pillars;
and
the
two
networks,
to
cover
the
two
bowls
of
the
chapiters
which
[were]
upon
the
top
of
the
pillars;
42
And
four
hundred
pomegranates
for
the
two
networks,
[even]
two
rows
of
pomegranates
for
one
network,
to
cover
the
two
bowls
of
the
chapiters
that
[were]
upon
the
pillars;
43
And
the
ten
bases,
and
ten
lavers
on
the
bases;
44
And
one
sea,
and
twelve
oxen
under
the
sea;
45
And
the
pots,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
basons:
and
all
these
vessels,
which
Hiram
made
to
king
Solomon
for
the
house
of
the
LORD,
[were
of]
bright
brass.
46
In
the
plain
of
Jordan
did
the
king
cast
them,
in
the
clay
ground
between
Succoth
and
Zarthan.
47
And
Solomon
left
all
the
vessels
[unweighed],
because
they
were
exceeding
many:
neither
was
the
weight
of
the
brass
found
out.
48
And
Solomon
made
all
the
vessels
that
[pertained]
unto
the
house
of
the
LORD:
the
altar
of
gold,
and
the
table
of
gold,
whereupon
the
shewbread
[was],
49
And
the
candlesticks
of
pure
gold,
five
on
the
right
[side],
and
five
on
the
left,
before
the
oracle,
with
the
flowers,
and
the
lamps,
and
the
tongs
[of]
gold,
50
And
the
bowls,
and
the
snuffers,
and
the
basons,
and
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,
[to
wit],
of
the
temple.
51
So
was
ended
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;
[even]
the
silver,
and
the
gold,
and
the
vessels,
did
he
put
among
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
LORD.
