1 Kings 7:6-15

6And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of pillarsH5982; its lengthH753 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and its breadthH7341 thirtyH7970 cubitsH520; and there was a porchH197 in front of them; and there were pillarsH5982, and steps in front of them.

7And he madeH6213 the porchH197 for the throneH3678 whereH834 he judgedH8199, the porchH197 of judgmentH4941; and it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172.

8And his houseH1004 whereH834 he dweltH3427 had another courtH2691 within the porchH197, which wasH1961 of the like workH4639. And he madeH6213, like to this porchH197, a houseH1004 for Pharaoh's daughterH1323, whom SolomonH8010 had takenH3947.

9All these [buildings] were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, hewnH1496 stonesH68, according to the measures, sawed with sawsH4050, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outsideH2351 as far as the greatH1419 courtH2691.

10And the foundations were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, greatH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520.

11And above were costlyH3368 stonesH68, hewnH1496 stonesH68, according to the measures, and cedarH730.

12And the greatH1419 courtH2691 roundH5439 about had threeH7969 rowsH2905 of hewnH1496 stonesH1496, and a rowH2905 of cedar-beams; and so it was for 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 a widow's sonH1121 of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was fullH4390 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 and knowledgeH1847, to do all kinds of works in brass. And he cameH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and madeH6213 all his workH4399.

15And he formed the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brass; the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteen cubitsH520, and a lineH2339 of twelve cubitsH520 encompassed the secondH8145 pillarH5982.
