1st Kings 7:6-21

⁶And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits of length, and of thirty cubits of breadth; and he made an-other porch in the face of the greater porch; and he made pillars, and the pommels on the pillars.

⁷Also he made a porch of the king’s seat, in which the seat of doom was; and he covered it with wood of cedar, from the pavement unto the highness.

⁸And a little house, in which he sat to deem, was in the middle porch, by like work. Also Solomon made an house to the daughter of Pharaoh, whom he had wedded, by such work, by what manner work he made and this porch.

⁹He made all things of precious stones, that were sawed at a rule and measure, both within and without-forth, from the foundament unto the highness of the walls, and within and till to the great street, either courtyard.

¹⁰And the foundaments were of precious stones, great stones of ten, either of eight cubits;

¹¹and precious stones hewn of even measure were above; in like manner and of cedar.

¹²And the greater court, either void space, was round, of three orders of hewn stones, and of one order of hewn cedar beams; also and in the inner large street of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house of the Lord.

¹³Also king Solomon sent, and brought from Tyre, Hiram,

¹⁴the son of a woman widow, of the lineage of Naphtali, of the father of a man of Tyre, a craftsman of brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and doctrine, or teaching, to make all work of brass. And when he had come to king Solomon, he made all his work.

¹⁵And he made two pillars of brass, one pillar of eighteen cubits of height; and a line of twelve cubits compassed ever either pillar.

¹⁶Also he made two pommels or capitals, molten of brass, which were set or put on the heads of the pillars; one pommel of five cubits of height, and the tother pommel of five cubits of height;

¹⁷and by the manner of a net, and of chains knit together to themselves, by wonderful work. Ever either pommel of the pillars was molten; seven works like nets of orders were in one pommel, and seven works like nets in the tother pommel.

¹⁸And he made perfectly the pillars, and two orders about all the works like nets, that those or they should cover the pommels, which were upon the highness of the pomegranates; in the same manner he did also to the second pommel.

¹⁹And the pommels, that were upon the heads of the pillars in the porch, were made as by work of lily, of four cubits;

²⁰and again other pommels in the highness of the pillars above, by the measure of the pillar, set against the works like nets; and two hundred orders of pomegranates were in the compass of the second pommel.

²¹And he set the two pillars in the porch of the temple; and when he had set the right half pillar, he called it by name Jachin, that is, steadfast; in like manner he raised up the second pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz, that is, strength.
