1st Kings 7:9-17

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.
