New International Version
1 Kings 7:13-22
13King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,
14whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom, with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.
15He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high.
17A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital.
19The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
20On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
21He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.
22The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed.
