13Now 1KingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 HiramH2438 from TyreH6865. 142He was a widow’sH490 sonH1121 from the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, a workerH2790 in bronzeH5178; and 3he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 and skillH1847 for doingH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 in bronzeH5178. So he cameH935 to KingH4428 SolomonH8010 and 4performedH6213 allH3605 his workH4399.

15He fashionedH6696 5the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of bronzeH5178; 6eighteenH8083H6240 cubitsH520 was the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982, and a lineH2339 of twelveH8147H6240 cubitsH520 7measuredH5437 the circumferenceH5437 of bothH8147. 16He also madeH6213 twoH8147 capitalsH3805 of moltenH3332 bronzeH5178 to setH5414 on the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982; the heightH6967 of the oneH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 8cubitsH520 and the heightH6967 of the otherH8145 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 17There were netsH7639 of networkH7639 and twistedH1434 threadsH1434 of chainworkH4639H8333 for the capitalsH3805 whichH834 were on the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 capitalH3805 and sevenH7651 for the otherH8145 capitalH3805. 18So he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982, and twoH8147 rowsH2905 aroundH5439 on the oneH259 networkH7639 to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 whichH834 were on the topH7218 of the pomegranatesH7416; and soH3651 he didH6213 for the otherH8145 capitalH3805. 19The capitalsH3805 whichH834 were on the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 were of lilyH7799 designH4639, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20There were capitalsH3805 on the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, evenH1571 aboveH4480H4605 and closeH4480H5980 to the 9roundedH990 projectionH990 whichH834 was besideH5676 the networkH7639; and 10the pomegranatesH7416 numbered two hundredH3967 in rowsH2905 aroundH5439 11bothH8145 capitalsH3805. 2112Thus he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 at the 13porchH197 of the naveH1964; and he setH6965 up the rightH3233 pillarH5982 and namedH7121H8034 it 14JachinH3199, and he setH6965 up the leftH8042 pillarH5982 and namedH7121H8034 it 15BoazH1162. 22On the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lilyH7799 designH4639.
