11And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars. 12And the great court all around was with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house. And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre. 14He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and skill in working all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 15For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did surround each of them.
