1 Kings 7:13-22
13Now 1King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. 142He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and 3he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and 4performed all his work.
15He fashioned 5the two pillars of bronze; 6eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits 7measured the circumference of both. 16He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five 8cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. 18So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. 19The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. 20There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the 9rounded projection which was beside the network; and 10the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around 11both capitals. 2112Thus he set up the pillars at the 13porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it 14Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it 15Boaz. 22On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
