Solomon's own house
Solomon spent thirteen years building his own house, and eventually finished the whole thing. He also built the house of the Forest of Lebanon. It was a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting cedar beams. It was roofed with cedar over the beams resting on forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row. There were windows in three rows, with each window facing another across from it. All the doors and posts had square frames, and the windows faced each other in three rows. He made a porch of pillars fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Another porch with pillars and a thick beam stood in front of it. He also made the throne porch, where he delivered judgments — the porch of judgment. It was panelled with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. His own house, where he lived, stood in another court behind the porch and was built in the same style. Solomon also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married. All these buildings were made from costly dressed stone, cut to measure and sawn on their inner and outer faces, from the foundation right up to the coping, and outside as far as the great court. The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits. Above them were costly stones cut to measure, along with cedar. The great court was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and one row of cedar beams, as were the inner court of the house of the Lord and the porch of the house.
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. He built the house of the Forest of Lebanon too. Its length was a hundred cubits and its width fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars. And it was covered with cedar above on the beams that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. And there were windows in three rows, and window opposite window in three ranks. And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows. And window was opposite window in three ranks. And he made a porch of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits. And the porch was in front of them, and the other pillars and the thick beam were in front of them. Then he made a porch for the throne where he could judge, the porch of judgment. And it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. And his house where he lived had another court inside the porch, of the same work. Solomon made a house too for Pharaoh's daughter, who he'd taken as a wife, like this porch. All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of cut stone, sawn with saws inside and outside, from the foundation right to the coping, and so on the outside towards the great court. And the foundation was of costly stones, big stones — stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. And above were costly stones, according to the measures of cut stone, and cedars. And the great court round about was with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord and for the porch of the house.
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 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. And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks. And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 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. 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. 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. 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. And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 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.

Hiram the craftsman
King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre. Hiram was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been a man of Tyre who worked in bronze. Hiram was full of wisdom, understanding and skill for every kind of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and carried out all his work. He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits around. He made two capitals of cast bronze to sit on top of the pillars. Each capital was five cubits high. For the capitals on top of the pillars he made latticework and wreaths of chainwork — seven for each capital. Around each network he made two rows of pomegranates to cover the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for both capitals. The capitals on top of the pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies and were four cubits high. On the capitals of both pillars, above the rounded section beside the network, were two hundred pomegranates arranged in rows around each capital. He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He named the pillar on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz. The tops of the pillars were decorated with lily work. So the work on the pillars was finished.
And King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work. Because he cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high. And a line of twelve cubits went round each of them. And he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. And nets of chequer work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the top of the pillars — seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. And he made the pillars, and two rows round about on the one network, to cover the capitals on the top with pomegranates. And he did the same for the other capital. And the capitals on the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. And the capitals on the two pillars had pomegranates above too, close by the round part beside the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about on the other capital. And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin. And he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz. And on the top of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 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. For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. 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: 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. 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. And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 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. 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. And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

The sea and the stands
He made a cast bronze sea, round in shape, ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits high and thirty cubits around. Below its rim, gourds surrounded it, ten to a cubit, all the way around. The gourds were cast in two rows as part of the sea itself. The sea stood on twelve oxen: three facing north, three west, three south and three east. The sea rested on top of them, with all their hindquarters facing inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily flower. It held two thousand baths. He made ten bronze stands, each four cubits long, four cubits wide and three cubits high. The stands were made with panels set between frames. On the panels between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim. Above the panels was a base, and beneath the lions and oxen were decorative wreaths. Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the four corners were supports for the basin, cast with wreaths beside each one. The opening at the top rose a cubit above the capital. It was round, like a pedestal, and measured a cubit and a half across. There were carvings around the opening, while the panels were square, not round. The four wheels were beneath the panels, with their axles attached to the stand. Each wheel was a cubit and a half high. The wheels were made like chariot wheels. Their axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all cast in bronze. Each stand had four supports, one at each corner, made as part of the stand itself. At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high, with its supports and panels made as one piece with it. On the surfaces of its supports and panels he engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees wherever there was room, with wreaths all around. That was how he made the ten stands. They all had the same casting, measurements and shape. He made ten bronze basins. Each basin held forty baths and measured four cubits across, with one basin on each of the ten stands. He placed five stands on the right side of the house and five on the left. He set the sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast. Hiram also made the basins, shovels and bowls. So Hiram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon for the house of the Lord: the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; and the two networks covering the two capitals; the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, with two rows of pomegranates for each network covering the capitals on top of the pillars; the ten stands with their ten basins; the one sea with the twelve oxen beneath it; the pots, shovels and bowls. All these vessels Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of bright bronze. The king had them cast in the plain of Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. Solomon left all these vessels unweighed because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was never determined. Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the Lord: the gold altar and the gold table on which the sacred bread was placed; the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left in front of the inner room, along with the gold flowers, lamps and tongs; the bowls, wick trimmers, basins, spoons and firepans of pure gold; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the temple itself. So all the work King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished. Solomon brought in the things David his father had dedicated — the silver, gold and vessels — and placed them among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
And he made a cast sea, ten cubits from one brim to the other. It was round all about, and its height was five cubits. And a line of thirty cubits went round it. And under its brim round about were gourds surrounding it, ten to a cubit, going round the sea. The gourds were cast in two rows when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three looking towards the north and three looking towards the west and three looking towards the south and three looking towards the east. And the sea was set above on them, and all their back parts were inward. And it was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies. It held two thousand baths. And he made ten stands of bronze. Four cubits was the length of one stand and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height. And the work of the stands was like this: they had panels, and the panels were between the frames. And on the panels between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim. And on the frames there was a base above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. And every stand had four bronze wheels and plates of bronze. And its four corners had supports. Under the basin were cast supports, at the side of every wreath. And the mouth of it inside the capital and above was a cubit. But its mouth was round like the work of the base, a cubit and a half. And on its mouth too were carvings with their panels, square, not round. And under the panels were four wheels. And the axles of the wheels were joined to the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles and their rims and their spokes and their hubs were all cast. And there were four supports to the four corners of one stand. And the supports were of the stand itself. And in the top of the stand was a round band half a cubit high. And on the top of the stand its ledges and its panels were of the same. Because on the plates of its ledges and on its panels he carved cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about. That's how he made the ten stands. They all had one casting, one measure and one size. Then he made ten basins of bronze. One basin held forty baths. And every basin was four cubits, and on every one of the ten stands one basin. And he put five stands 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, opposite the south. And Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished all the work he made King Solomon for the house of the Lord — the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals on the top of the pillars, and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks — two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals on the pillars, and the ten stands and ten basins on the stands, and one sea and twelve oxen under the sea, and the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And all these vessels that Hiram made King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of bright bronze. The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan. And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze wasn't found out. And Solomon made all the vessels that belonged to the house of the Lord — the altar of gold, and the table of gold that the bread of the Presence was on, and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner room, with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold, and the bowls and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the firepans 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, of the temple. So all the work King Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things David his father had set apart — the silver and the gold and the vessels — and put them among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. 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. 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. After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 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. 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. 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: 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; 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; And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 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. In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. 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, 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, 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. 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.
He made a cast bronze sea, round in shape, ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits high and thirty cubits around.
And he made a cast sea, ten cubits from one brim to the other. It was round all about, and its height was five cubits. And a line of thirty cubits went round it.
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.
Below its rim, gourds surrounded it, ten to a cubit, all the way around. The gourds were cast in two rows as part of the sea itself.
And under its brim round about were gourds surrounding it, ten to a cubit, going round the sea. The gourds were cast in two rows when it was cast.
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.
The sea stood on twelve oxen: three facing north, three west, three south and three east. The sea rested on top of them, with all their hindquarters facing inward.
It stood on twelve oxen, three looking towards the north and three looking towards the west and three looking towards the south and three looking towards the east. And the sea was set above on them, and all their back parts were inward.
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.

And he made ten stands of bronze. Four cubits was the length of one stand and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.
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.
The stands were made with panels set between frames.
And the work of the stands was like this: they had panels, and the panels were between the frames.
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
On the panels between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim. Above the panels was a base, and beneath the lions and oxen were decorative wreaths.
And on the panels between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim. And on the frames there was a base above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
