1 Kings 7
Revised Version 1895
1And SolomonH8010 was buildingH1129 his own houseH1004 thirteenH6240 yearsH8141, and he finishedH3615 allH3605 his houseH1004. 2For he builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844; the lengthH753 thereof was an hundredH3967 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520, uponH5921 fourH702 rowsH2905 of cedarH730 pillarsH5982, with cedarH730 beamsH3773 uponH5921 the pillarsH5982. 3And it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 aboveH5921 over the fortyH705 and fiveH2568 beams, that were uponH5921 the pillarsH5982; fifteenH6240 in a rowH2905. 4And there were prospects in threeH7969 rowsH2905, and light was over againstH413 light in threeH7969 ranksH6471. 5And allH3605 the doorsH6607 and postsH4201 were squareH7251 in prospect: and light was over againstH413 light in threeH7969 ranksH6471. 6And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of pillarsH5982; the lengthH753 thereof was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520; and a porchH197 beforeH6440 them; and pillarsH5982 and thickH7341 beams beforeH6440 them. 7And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of the throneH3678 whereH834 he might judgeH8199, evenH5704 the porchH197 of judgmentH4941: and it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172. 8And his houseH1004 whereH834 he might dwellH3427, the otherH312 courtH2691 withinH1004 the porchH197, was of the like workH4639. He madeH6213 also an houseH1004 for Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, (whomH834 SolomonH8010 had takenH3947 to wife,) like unto this porchH197. 9AllH3605 theseH428 were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, evenH5704 of hewnH1496 stoneH68, according to measure, sawedH1641 with sawsH4050, withinH1004 and without, evenH5704 from the foundationH4527 unto the copingH2947, and soH5704 on the outsideH2351 unto the greatH1419 courtH2691. 10And the foundationH3245 was of costlyH3368 stonesH68, even greatH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of tenH6235 cubitsH520, and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520. 11And aboveH4605 were costlyH3368 stonesH68, even hewnH1496 stoneH68, according to measure, and cedarH730 wood. 12And the greatH1419 courtH2691 roundH5439 aboutH5439 had threeH7969 rowsH2905 of hewnH1496 stoneH1496, and a rowH2905 of cedarH730 beamsH3773; like as the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the porchH197 of the houseH1004. 13And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 and fetched HiramH2438 outH7971 of TyreH6865. 14He was the sonH1121 of a widowH490 womanH802 of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, a workerH4399 in brassH5178; and he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 and cunning, to workH4399 allH3605 worksH6213 in brassH5178. And he cameH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and wrought allH3605 his workH4399. 15For he fashioned the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brassH5178, of eighteenH6240 cubitsH520 highH6967 apieceH259: and a lineH2339 of twelveH6240 cubitsH520 compassed either of them aboutH5437. 16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 chapiters of moltenH3332 brassH5178, to setH5414 uponH5921 the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982: the heightH6967 of the one chapiter was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the otherH259 chapiter was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 17There were netsH7639 of checker workH4639, and wreathsH1434 of chain workH4639, for the chapiters whichH834 were uponH5921 the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the one chapiter, and sevenH7651 for the otherH259 chapiter. 18SoH3651 he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982; and there were twoH8147 rowsH2905 roundH5439 aboutH5439 uponH5921 the one networkH7639, to coverH3680 the chapiters that were uponH5921 the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982: and soH3651 didH6213 he for the otherH259 chapiter. 19And the chapiters that were uponH5921 the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 were of lilyH7799 workH4639, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20And there were chapiters aboveH5921 also uponH5921 the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, closeH5980 by the bellyH990 whichH834 was besideH5921 the networkH7639: and the pomegranatesH7416 were twoH8147 hundredH3967, in rowsH2905 roundH5439 aboutH5439 uponH5921 the otherH8145 chapiter. 21And he setH6965 upH6965 the pillarsH5982 at the porchH197 of the templeH1964: and he setH6965 upH6965 the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof JachinH3199: and he setH6965 upH6965 the leftH8042 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof BoazH1162. 22And uponH5921 the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lilyH7799 workH4399: soH5921 was the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 finishedH8552. 23And he madeH6213 the molten seaH3220 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brimH8193 to brimH8193, roundH5439 in compass, and the heightH6967 thereof was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 compassed it roundH5439 aboutH5439. 24And underH8478 the brimH8193 of it roundH5439 aboutH5439 there were knops which did compass it, for tenH6235 cubitsH520, compassing the seaH3220 roundH5439 aboutH5439: the knops were in twoH8147 rowsH2905, castH3332 when it was castH3332. 25It stoodH5975 uponH5921 twelveH6240 oxenH1241, threeH7969 looking towardH5921 the northH6828, and threeH7969 looking towardH5921 the westH3220, and threeH7969 looking towardH5921 the southH5045, and threeH7969 looking towardH5921 the eastH4217: and the seaH3220 was setH5975 uponH5921 them aboveH5921, and allH3605 their hinder partsH268 were inwardH1004. 26And it was an handbreadthH2947 thickH5672; and the brimH8193 thereof was wroughtH4639 like the brimH8193 of a cupH3563, like the flowerH6525 of a lilyH7799: it heldH3557 twoH3557 thousandH505 bathsH1324. 27And he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases of brassH5178; fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of one baseH753, and fourH702 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 thereof, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 of it. 28And the workH4639 of the bases was on this manner: they had bordersH4526; and there were bordersH4526 betweenH996 the ledges: 29and on the bordersH4526 that were betweenH996 the ledges were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimH3742; and uponH5921 the ledges there was a pedestalH3653 aboveH5921: and beneathH8478 the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were wreathsH3914 of hangingH4174 workH4639. 30And everyH376 base had fourH702 brasen wheelsH212, and axlesH5633 of brassH5178: and the fourH702 feetH6471 thereof had undersetters: beneathH8478 the laverH3595 were the undersetters molten, with wreathsH3914 at the sideH3802 of eachH376. 31And the mouthH6310 of it withinH5921 the chapiter and aboveH5921 was a cubitH520: and the mouthH6310 thereof was roundH5696 afterH5921 the workH4639 of a pedestalH3653, a cubitH520 and an halfH2677: and also uponH5921 the mouthH6310 of it were gravings, and their bordersH4526 were foursquare, notH3808 roundH5696. 32And the fourH702 wheelsH212 were underneathH8478 the bordersH4526; and the axletrees of the wheelsH212 were in the base: and the heightH6967 of a wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520. 33And the workH4639 of the wheelsH212 was like the workH4639 of a chariotH4818 wheelH212: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokesH2839, and their naves, were allH3605 moltenH3332. 34And there were fourH702 undersetters at the fourH702 cornersH6438 of eachH259 base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself. 35And in the topH7218 of the base was there a roundH5439 compass of halfH2677 a cubitH520 highH6967: and on the topH7218 of the base the staysH3027 thereof and the bordersH4526 thereof were of the sameH4480. 36And on the platesH3871 of the staysH3027 thereof, and on the bordersH4526 thereof, he graved cherubimH3742, lionsH738, and palmH8561 tress, accordingH5921 to the spaceH4626 of eachH376, with wreathsH3914 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 37After this manner he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases: allH3605 of them had one castingH4165, one measure, and one formH7095. 38And he madeH6213 tenH6235 lavers of brassH5178: one laverH3595 contained fortyH705 bathsH1324: and everyH259 laverH3595 was fourH702 cubitsH520: and uponH5921 everyH259 one of the tenH6235 bases one laverH3595. 39And he setH5414 the bases, fiveH2568 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, and fiveH2568 on the leftH8040 sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and he setH5414 the seaH3220 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6924, towardH5921 the southH5045. 40And HiramH2438 madeH6213 the lavers, and the shovelsH3257, and the basons. SoH6213 HiramH2438 madeH6213 an endH3615 of doingH6213 allH3605 the workH4399 that he wrought for kingH4428 SolomonH8010 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: 41the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, and the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the chapiters that were on the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; and the twoH8147 networksH7639 to coverH3680 the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the chapiters that were on the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; 42and the fourH702 hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 for the twoH8147 networksH7639; twoH8147 rowsH2905 of pomegranatesH7416 for eachH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the chapiters that were uponH5921 the pillarsH5982; 43and the tenH6235 bases, and the tenH6235 lavers on the bases; 44and the one seaH3220, and the twelveH6240 oxenH1241 underH8478 the seaH3220; 45and the potsH5518, and the shovelsH3257, and the basons: evenH853 allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627, whichH834 HiramH2438 madeH6213 for kingH4428 SolomonH8010, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, were of burnished brassH5178. 46In the PlainH3603 of JordanH3383 did the kingH4428 castH3332 them, in the clayH4568 groundH127 betweenH996 SuccothH5523 and ZarethanH6891. 47And SolomonH8010 leftH3240 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 unweighedH7230, becauseH7230 they were exceedingH3966 manyH7230: the weightH4948 of the brassH5178 could notH3808 be foundH2713 outH2713. 48And SolomonH8010 madeH6213 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: the goldenH2091 altarH4196, and the tableH7979 whereupon the shewbread was, of goldH2091; 49and the candlesticks, fiveH2568 on the rightH3225 sideH3225, and fiveH2568 on the leftH8040, beforeH6440 the oracle, of pureH5462 goldH2091; and the flowersH6525, and the lampsH5216, and the tongsH4457, of goldH2091; 50and the cups, and the snuffersH4212, and basons, and the spoonsH3709, and the firepansH4289, of pureH5462 goldH2091; and the hingesH6596, both for the doorsH1817 of the innerH6442 houseH1004, the mostH6944 holyH6944 placeH6944, and for the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004, to wit, of the templeH1004, of goldH2091. 51Thus allH3605 the workH4399 that kingH4428 SolomonH8010 wrought in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was finishedH7999. And SolomonH8010 broughtH935 in the things whichH834 DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, evenH853 the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, and putH5414 them in the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
