    And king Solomon sent and fetched Hirame out of Tyre.

  • 1 Kings 7:14

    He was a widow'sf 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.

  • 1 Kings 7:15

    For he castg two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

  • 1 Kings 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:

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 7:19

    And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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:h and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

  • 1 Kings 7:22

    And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 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.

  • 1 Kings 7:28

    And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

  • 1 Kings 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.
