But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2 He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

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 all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.

6 And he made a porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits. The porch was in front of them, and the other pillars and the thick beam were in front of them.

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.

7 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.

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.

9 All these were made of costly stones, cut to size, sawed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside toward the great court.

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.

10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

13 And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.

And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

14 He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill to work all works in bronze. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

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.

15 For he cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits encircled each pillar.

For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

16 And he made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

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:

17 And nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals upon the top of the pillars; seven for one capital and seven for the other capital.

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.

18 And he made the pillars and two rows around on one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

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.

19 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

20 And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, opposite the bulge by the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows around the other capital.

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.

21 And he set up the pillars at 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 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.

23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from one rim to the other; it was round all about, and its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits encircled 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.

24 And under the brim around it were knobs encircling it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea all around; the knobs 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.

25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set upon them, and all their hind 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.

26 And it was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths.

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.

27 And he made ten bases of bronze; four cubits was the length of one base, 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.

28 And the workmanship of the bases was as follows: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges.

And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a base above, and beneath the lions and oxen were additions of thin work.

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.

30 And each base had four bronze wheels and plates of bronze, and the four corners had supports; the supports were molten beneath the lavers, at the side of each addition.

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.

31 And the opening in the top of the base was within the capital and above one cubit; but the mouth was round after the shape of the base, a cubit and a half; and there were engravings with their borders, square, not round.

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.

32 And the four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

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.

33 And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

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.

34 And there were four supports at the four corners of each base; the supports themselves were part of the base.

And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

35 And on the top of the base was a circular piece half a cubit high; and on the top of the base, its ledges and its borders were part of it.

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.

36 On the plates of its ledges and on its borders, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the open space on each, with wreaths all around.

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.

37 Thus he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

38 Then he made ten bronze lavers; each laver held forty baths, each laver was four cubits; on each of the ten bases, one laver.

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.

39 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, toward the south.

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.

40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work he did for King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

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:

41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

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;

42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;

43 The ten bases and ten lavers on the bases;

And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

44 The 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.

46 In the plain of the Jordan, the king cast them, in clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were exceedingly many; neither was the weight of the bronze ascertained.

And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

48 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which was the showbread,

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,

49 And the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

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,

50 And the bowls, the snuffers, the basins, 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, that is, of the temple.

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.

51 Thus was completed 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: the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and he put them among the treasures of the house of the LORD.

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.
