1 Kings 7:6-15
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.
