Bible. Kings, 1st
11:007:007 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.
11:007:008 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.
11:007:009 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.
11:007:010 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones,
stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11:007:011 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars.
11:007:012 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.
11:007:013 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
11:007:014 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.
11:007:015 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high
apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them
about.
11:007:016 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:
11:007:017 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.
11:007:018 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.
11:007:019 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were
of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
11:007:020 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.
11:007:021 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.
11:007:022 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work
of the pillars finished.
