Kings III 7:20-41

²⁰The four side-pieces were at the four corners of each base; its shoulders were formed of the base.

²¹And on the top of the base half a cubit was the size of it, there was a circle on the top of the base, and there was the top of its spaces and its borders: and it was open at the top of its spaces.

²²And its borders were cherubs, and lions, and palm-trees, upright, each was joined in front and within and round about.

²³According to the same form he made all the ten bases, even one order and one measure to all.

²⁴And he made ten brazen lavers, each laver containing forty baths, and measuring four cubits, each laver placed on a several base throughout the ten bases.

²⁵And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and the sea was placed on the right side of the house eastward in the direction of the south.

²⁶And Chiram made the caldrons, and the pans, and the bowls; and Chiram finished making all the works that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the Lord:

²⁷two pillars and the wreathen works of the pillars on the heads of the two pillars; and the two net-works to cover both the wreathen works of the flutings that were upon the pillars.

²⁸The four hundred pomegranates for both the net-works, two rows of pomegranates for one net-work, to cover both the wreathen works of the bases belonging to both pillars.

²⁹And the ten bases, and the ten lavers upon the bases.

³⁰And one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea.

³¹And the caldrons, and pans, and bowls, and all the furniture, which Chiram made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord: and there were eight and forty pillars of the house of the king and of the house of the Lord: all the works of the king which Chiram made were entirely of brass.

³²There was no reckoning of the brass of which he made all these works, from the very great abundance, there was no end of the weight of the brass.

³³In the country round about Jordan did he cast them, in the clay land between Socchoth and Sira.

³⁴And king Solomon took the furniture which Chiram made for the house of the Lord, the golden altar, and the golden table of shewbread.

³⁵And he put the five candlesticks on the left, and five on the right in front of the oracle, being of pure gold, and the lamp-stands, and the lamps, and the snuffers of gold.

³⁶And there were made the porches, and the nails, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the golden censers, of pure gold: and the panels of the doors of the innermost part of the house, even the holy of holies, and the golden doors of the temple.

³⁷So the work of the house of the Lord which Solomon wrought was finished; and Solomon brought in the holy things of David his father, and all the holy things of Solomon; he put the silver, and the gold, and the furniture, into the treasures of the house of the Lord.

³⁸And Solomon built a house for himself in thirteen years.

³⁹And he built the house with the wood of Libanus; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth was fifty cubits, and its height was of thirty cubits, and it was made with three rows of cedar pillars, and the pillars had side-pieces of cedar.

⁴⁰And he formed the house with chambers above on the sides of the pillars, and the number of the pillars was each row forty and five,

⁴¹and there were three chambers, and space against space in three rows.
