And
Solomon was
building
his
own
house
thirteen years ,
and
he
finished
all
his house
.
Solomon ,
however,
took
thirteen years to
complete
the
construction
of
his entire
palace
.
For
he built the house of the forest of Lebanon ;
the
length
thereof
was
a 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
.
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long
, fifty cubits wide
, and thirty cubits high
, with
four rows of cedar pillars supporting
the
cedar beams.
And
it
was covered
with cedar above over
the forty
and
five
beams ,
that were
upon
the pillars ;
fifteen in
a
row.
The
house
was roofed
with cedar above the beams that rested
on
the pillars —forty-five
beams,
fifteen per
row.
And
there were beams
in
three rows ,
and
window
was
over
against
window
in three ranks
.
There were three rows of
high
windows
facing
one
another
in three tiers
.
And
all the doors
and
posts
were
made
square
with beams:
and
window
was
over
against
window
in three ranks
.
All the doorways
had
rectangular
frames,
with the
openings
facing
one
another
in three tiers
.
And
he
made the
porch
of
pillars;
the
length
thereof
was
fifty cubits ,
and the
breadth
thereof
thirty cubits ;
and
a porch
before
them;
and
pillars
and a threshold
before
them
.
Solomon
made his
colonnade
fifty cubits long
and thirty cubits wide,
with
a portico
in
front
of
it
and a canopy
with
pillars
in
front
of
the
portico
.
And
he made
the
porch
of
the throne where he was to judge ,
even
the
porch
of
judgment:
and
it was covered
with cedar from floor to floor
.
In
addition,
he built
a
hall
for
the throne ,
the
Hall
of
Justice,
where he was to judge .
It was paneled
with cedar from floor to ceiling
.
And his
house
where he
was
to
dwell
, the
other
court
within
the
porch
, was of the
like
work
. He made
also a house
for Pharaoh's
daughter (
whom Solomon
had taken
to
wife),
like
unto
this
porch
.
And the
palace
where Solomon
would
live
, set
further
back
, was of similar
construction
. He also made
a palace
like
this
hall
for Pharaoh’s
daughter ,
whom he
had married
.
All these were of
costly stones, even
of
hewn
stone,
according
to measure,
sawed
with saws ,
within
and without,
even
from the foundation unto
the coping
, and so
on
the outside unto
the great court
.
All these buildings
were constructed
with
costly stones, cut
to size
and
trimmed
with saws inside
and out
from the foundation to
the eaves
, and from
the outside to
the great courtyard
.
And
the foundation
was
of
costly
stones
, even
great
stones, stones
of
ten cubits ,
and stones
of
eight cubits.
The foundations
were
laid
with
large
, costly
stones, some
ten cubits long
and some
eight cubits long
.
And
above were costly
stones, even
hewn
stone,
according
to measure
, and cedar -wood
.
Above these
were high-grade
stones, cut
to size
, and cedar beams
.
And
the great court
round
about
had
three courses
of hewn
stone ,
and a course
of cedar beams ;
like
as the inner court
of the house of Jehovah,
and
the porch
of
the
house
.
The great courtyard
was
surrounded
by
three rows
of dressed
stone and a row
of trimmed
cedar beams ,
as were
the inner courtyard
and
portico
of the house of the LORD
.
And
king Solomon sent and
fetched
Hiram
out
of
Tyre.
Now
King Solomon sent to
bring
Huram
from
Tyre.
He was the son of a widow 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
skill, to
work all
works
in
brass
. And
he came to king Solomon ,
and wrought
all his work.
He was the son of a widow from
the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman
in bronze.
Huram
had
great
skill, understanding,
and
knowledge
for
every
kind
of
bronze
work. So
he came to King Solomon and carried
out
all his work.
For
he fashioned
the
two pillars of brass
, eighteen cubits high apiece:
and a
line
of
twelve cubits compassed
either
of
them
about
.
He cast
two pillars of bronze
, each
eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in
circumference
.
And
he made two capitals of molten
brass,
to set upon
the
tops
of the pillars :
the
height
of
the
one
capital
was
five
cubits
, and
the
height
of
the
other
capital was
five cubits.
He also
made two capitals of cast
bronze
to set on
top
of the pillars, each
capital five cubits high
.
There
were
nets
of
checker-work,
and
wreaths
of
chain-work,
for the capitals which
were
upon
the
top of the pillars ;
seven
for
the
one
capital
, and
seven for the
other
capital.
For the capitals on
top of the pillars he
made
a
network
of
lattice
, with
wreaths
of
chainwork,
seven for each
capital.
So
he made the pillars ;
and
there
were
two rows round
about
upon
the
one
network,
to cover the
capitals
that
were
upon
the
top
of
the pillars :
and
so
did
he
for
the
other
capital
.
Likewise,
he made the pillars with
two rows of
pomegranates
around
each
grating
to cover each
capital
atop
the pillars.
And the capitals that
were
upon
the
top
of
the pillars in the porch
were of
lily-work
, four cubits.
And the capitals atop
the pillars in the portico
were shaped
like
lilies
, four cubits high
.
And
there
were
capitals
above
also
upon
the two
pillars, close
by
the belly
which
was
beside
the network :
and
the
pomegranates
were two hundred ,
in rows round
about
upon
the
other
capital.
On
the capitals
of
both
pillars, just
above
the rounded
projection
next
to
the network ,
were the
two hundred pomegranates
in rows encircling
each
capital.
And
he set up the pillars at 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.
Thus
he set up the pillars at the portico
of the temple .
The pillar to
the south
he
named
Jachin ,
and the pillar to
the north
he
named
Boaz.
And upon
the top
of the pillars was
lily-work:
so was
the work of the pillars finished
.
And the tops
of the pillars were
shaped
like
lilies.
So the work of the pillars was
completed
.
And
he made the molten
sea of ten cubits from brim
to brim,
round
in
compass
, and
the
height
thereof
was
five cubits ;
and a
line
of
thirty cubits compassed
it
round
about
.
He also
made the Sea of cast
metal.
It
was
circular
in
shape,
measuring
ten cubits from rim
to rim
, five cubits in
height,
and thirty cubits in
circumference
.
And
under
the brim
of
it
round
about
there
were
knops
which
did
compass
it, for
ten cubits,
compassing
the sea
round
about:
the knops
were
in two rows ,
cast
when
it
was
cast
.
Below
the rim,
ornamental
buds
encircled
it, ten per
cubit
all
the way
around
the Sea,
cast
in two rows as
a
part
of
the
Sea
.
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
upon
them above
, and
all their hinder
parts
were
inward
.
The
Sea
stood on
twelve oxen, three facing
north, three facing
west, three facing
south, and three facing
east .
The Sea rested
on
them, with
all their hindquarters
toward
the
center
.
And
it was a handbreadth thick :
and the
brim
thereof
was wrought
like the brim of a cup, like the
flower
of
a lily :
it held
two thousand baths.
It was a handbreadth thick ,
and its
rim
was fashioned
like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom.
It could
hold
two thousand baths.
And
he made the
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
.
In
addition,
he made ten movable
stands
of bronze,
each
four cubits long
, four cubits wide
, and three cubits high
.
And
the work
of the bases
was
on
this
manner
: they had panels;
and
there
were
panels between
the
ledges;
This
was
the design
of the stands
: They had side
panels attached
to
uprights,
and on the panels that
were
between the ledges
were lions, oxen, and cherubim ;
and
upon
the ledges
there
was a pedestal above ;
and beneath
the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging
work.
and on the panels between the uprights
were lions, oxen, and cherubim .
On
the uprights
was a pedestal above ,
and below
the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled
work.
And
every
base
had four brazen
wheels ,
and
axles of
brass;
and the
four feet
thereof
had
undersetters:
beneath
the
laver
were
the
undersetters
molten
, with wreaths at the
side
of
each.
Each
stand
had four bronze
wheels with
bronze
axles and a
basin
resting
on
four supports
, with wreaths at each side
.
And
the mouth
of
it
within
the capital
and
above
was
a
cubit:
and
the mouth
thereof
was round after
the work
of a pedestal, a cubit and a half ;
and also
upon
the
mouth
of
it
were gravings
, and
their
panels were foursquare
, not round.
The opening
to
each
stand
inside
the crown
at
the top
was one
cubit
deep,
with
a
round opening
like
the design
of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide.
And around
its
opening
were engravings
, but
the
panels of
the
stands
were square
, not round.
And
the
four wheels were
underneath
the panels ;
and the axletrees
of the wheels were in
the
base:
and
the height
of
a
wheel was a cubit and half
a cubit
.
There
were
four wheels under
the panels ,
and the axles
of the wheels were attached
to
the stand;
each
wheel was a cubit and a half
in
diameter
.
And
the work
of
the
wheels was
like the
work
of
a
chariot wheel:
their axletrees
, and
their
felloes
, and
their
spokes, and their
naves,
were all molten
.
The wheels were
made
like chariot wheels;
their axles
, rims
, spokes, and hubs
were all of
cast
metal
.
And
there
were
four
undersetters
at
the
four corners
of
each base:
the
undersetters
thereof
were
of
the base
itself
.
Each
stand
had
four handles,
one
for
each corner,
projecting
from
the stand
.
And
in
the top of the
base
was there
a round
compass
half a cubit high ;
and
on
the
top
of
the
base
the stays
thereof
and the
panels thereof
were of the same
.
At
the top of each
stand
was a circular
band
half a cubit high .
The supports
and panels were cast
as
a
unit
with
the
top
of the stand
.
And
on
the
plates
of
the
stays
thereof,
and
on
the
panels
thereof,
he graved
cherubim, lions, and palm -
trees ,
according
to
the space
of each, with wreaths round
about
.
He engraved
cherubim, lions, and palm trees on
the surfaces
of the
supports
and
panels,
wherever
each had
space
, with wreaths all
around
.
After
this manner
he made the ten bases:
all
of
them
had
one
casting, one
measure
, and one
form
.
In
this way
he made the ten stands,
each
with
the
same
casting, dimensions
, and shape
.
And
he made ten lavers
of
brass:
one
laver
contained
forty baths ;
and every
laver
was
four cubits ;
and
upon
very
one of the ten bases
one
laver
.
He also
made ten bronze
basins,
each
holding
forty baths and measuring
four cubits across,
one basin
for
each
of the ten stands
.
And
he set the
bases,
five 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
.
He set five stands
on the south
side of the temple
and five on the north,
and he put
the Sea on the south
side, at
the southeast
corner
of
the
temple
.
And
Hiram
made the lavers
, and
the
shovels, and the
basins
. So Hiram
made
an
end
of
doing
all the work that he wrought
for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah
:
Additionally,
Huram
made the pots
, shovels, and sprinkling
bowls
. So Huram
finished
all the work that he had
undertaken
for King Solomon in the house of the
LORD
:
the two pillars ,
and
the two bowls
of
the
capitals that
were
on
the
top
of
the pillars; and
the two networks
to
cover
the
two
bowls of the capitals that
were
on
the
top
of
the pillars;
the two pillars ;
the two bowl-shaped
capitals atop
the pillars; the two sets
of
network
covering
both
bowls of the capitals atop
the pillars;
and
the 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;
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets
of
network
(
two rows of pomegranates for each network covering
both
the bowl-shaped
capitals atop
the pillars )
;
and
the ten bases,
and
the ten lavers
on the bases
;
the ten stands;
the ten basins
on the stands
;
and
the one
sea ,
and
the twelve oxen under
the sea;
the Sea ;
the twelve oxen underneath
the Sea;
and the pots, and
the
shovels, and the
basins:
even
all these
vessels,
which
Hiram
made for king Solomon ,
in the house of Jehovah,
were of burnished brass
.
and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling
bowls.
All the
articles
that
Huram
made for King Solomon in the house of the
LORD
were made
of burnished bronze
.
In the plain of the Jordan did
the
king
cast
them,
in
the
clay
ground
between Succoth and Zarethan.
The
king
had
them
cast
in clay
molds
in
the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
And
Solomon left all the
vessels
`
unweighed '
, because they
were exceeding
many :
the weight of the brass
could not be found
out
.
Solomon left all these
articles
unweighed, because there
were so
many .
The weight of the bronze
could not be determined
.
And
Solomon made all the vessels
that
were
in
the house of Jehovah
: the golden altar ,
and
the table whereupon
the
showbread
was ,
of gold
;
Solomon also
made all the furnishings
for
the house of the
LORD
: the golden altar ;
the golden
table on
which
was placed
the
Bread
of the
Presence
;
and
the candlesticks
, five on the right side ,
and five on the left ,
before
the
oracle,
of
pure
gold
; and
the flowers, and
the
lamps, and the
tongs ,
of
gold
;
the lampstands
of
pure
gold
in
front
of
the
inner
sanctuary
, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold
flowers, lamps, and tongs;
and
the cups
, and
the
snuffers
, and
the
basins
, 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,
`to
wit',
of the temple ,
of
gold
.
the pure
gold
basins
, wick
trimmers
, sprinkling
bowls
, ladles
, and censers
; and the gold
hinges for the doors of the inner temple
(that
is
, the Most Holy Place )
as
well
as
for the doors of the main
hall
of the temple.
Thus
all the work that king Solomon wrought
in
the house of Jehovah
was finished
. And
Solomon brought in the things
which
David
his father had dedicated ,
`even'
the silver, and
the gold, and the vessels,
and put
them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah
.
So
all the work that King Solomon had
performed
for
the house of the
LORD
was completed
. Then
Solomon brought in the items
his father David
had dedicated —
the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—
and he
placed
them in the treasuries of the house of the
LORD
.
