First Kings 7:13-20

¹³King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him from Tyre.

¹⁴Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.

¹⁵Huram fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.

¹⁶He made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.

¹⁷Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, seven for each capital.

¹⁸So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.

¹⁹The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.

²⁰The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
