1 Kings 7:13-22

13And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 and fetched HiramH2438 out of TyreH6865. 14He was the sonH1121 of a widowH490 of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 and skillH2451, to workH4399 all works in brass. And he cameH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and wrought all his workH4399. 15For he fashioned the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brass, eighteen cubitsH520 high apiece: and a lineH2339 of twelve cubitsH520 compassed either of them about. 16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 capitalsH3805 of molten brass, to setH5414 upon the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982: the heightH6967 of the oneH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the other capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 17There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitalsH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 capitalH3805, and sevenH7651 for the other capitalH3805. 18So he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982; and there were twoH8147 rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982: and soH3651 did he for the other capitalH3805. 19And the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 were of lily-work, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20And there were capitalsH3805 above alsoH1571 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, closeH5980 by the bellyH990 which was beside the networkH7639: and the pomegranatesH7416 were twoH8147 hundredH3967, in rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the other capitalH3805. 21And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 at the porchH197 of the templeH1964: and he setH6965 up the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof Jachin; and he setH6965 up the left pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof BoazH1162. 22And upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lily-work: so was the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 finishedH8552.
