1 Kings 7:6-15
6Then he madeH6213 1the hallH197 of pillarsH5982; its lengthH753 was 50H2572 cubitsH520 and its widthH7341 30H7970 cubitsH520, and a porchH197 was in frontH6440 of them and pillarsH5982 and a 2thresholdH5646 in frontH6440 of them.
7He madeH6213 the hallH197 of the 3throneH3678 whereH834H8033 he was to judgeH8199, the hallH197 of judgmentH4941, and 4it was paneledH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172.
8His houseH1004 whereH834H8033 he was to liveH3427, the otherH312 courtH2691 inwardH4480H1004 from the hallH197, was of the sameH2088 workmanshipH4639. 5He also madeH6213 a houseH1004 like thisH2088 hallH197 for Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, 6whomH834 SolomonH8010 had marriedH3947.
9AllH3605 theseH428 were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, of stoneH1496 cutH1496 according to measureH4060, sawedH1641 with sawsH4050, insideH4480H1004 and outsideH4480H2351; even from the foundationH4527 to the copingH2947, and so on the outsideH2351 to the greatH1419 courtH2691.
10The foundationH3245 was of costlyH3368 stonesH68, even largeH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520. 11And aboveH4480H4605 were costlyH3368 stonesH68, stoneH1496 cutH1496 according to measureH4060, and cedarH730. 12So 7the greatH1419 courtH2691 allH5439 aroundH5439 had threeH7969 rowsH2905 of cutH1496 stoneH1496 and a rowH2905 of cedarH730 beamsH3772 even as the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and 8the porchH197 of the houseH1004.
13Now 9KingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 HiramH2438 from TyreH6865. 1410He was a widow’sH490 sonH1121 from the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, a workerH2790 in bronzeH5178; and 11he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 and skillH1847 for doingH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 in bronzeH5178. So he cameH935 to KingH4428 SolomonH8010 and 12performedH6213 allH3605 his workH4399.
15He fashionedH6696 13the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of bronzeH5178; 14eighteenH8083H6240 cubitsH520 was the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982, and a lineH2339 of twelveH8147H6240 cubitsH520 15measuredH5437 the circumferenceH5437 of bothH8147.
