1 Kings 7:6-15

6And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of pillarsH5982; the lengthH753 thereof was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520; and a porchH197 before them; and pillarsH5982 and a thresholdH5646 before them. 7And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of the throneH3678 whereH834 he was to judgeH8199, even the porchH197 of judgmentH4941: and it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172. 8And his houseH1004 whereH834 he wasH1961 to dwellH3427, the otherH312 courtH2691 within the porchH197, wasH1961 of the like workH4639. He madeH6213 also a houseH1004 for Pharaoh’s daughterH1323 (whom SolomonH8010 had takenH3947 to wife), like unto this porchH197.

9All these were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, even of hewnH1496 stoneH68, according to measure, sawed with sawsH4050, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outsideH2351 unto the greatH1419 courtH2691. 10And the foundation was of costlyH3368 stonesH68, even greatH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of tenH6235 cubitsH520, and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520. 11And above were costlyH3368 stonesH68, even hewnH1496 stoneH68, according to measure, and cedar-wood. 12And the greatH1419 courtH2691 roundH5439 about had threeH7969 courses of hewnH1496 stoneH1496, and a course of cedarH730 beamsH3773; like as the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the porchH197 of the houseH1004.

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.
