1 Kings 7:13-22

13Now 1King Solomon sent word and had Hiram brought from Tyre. 142He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan in bronze; and 3he was filled with wisdom, skill, and knowledge for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and 4performed all his work.

15He fashioned 5the two pillars of bronze; 67eighteen cubits was the height of 8each pillar, and a line of 9twelve cubits 10measured the circumference of both. 16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to put on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was 11five cubits and the height of the other capital was 12five cubits. 17There were lattices of latticework and wreaths 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 lattice 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 tops of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. 20So there were capitals on the two pillars, also above and close to the 13rounded projection which was beside the lattice; and 14the pomegranates totaled two hundred in rows around 15both capitals. 2116And he set up the pillars at the 17porch of the 18main room: he set up the right pillar and named it 19Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it 20Boaz. 22On the top of the pillars was the lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
