1 Kings 7:13-22

13King Solomon sent for and had Hiram brought from Tyre.

14He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, while his father was a man of Tyre, a coppersmith, and he was filled with wisdom, understanding and skill to do any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and executed all his work.

15He fashioned the two bronze pillars, 18 cubits high and 12 cubits in circumference each.

16He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars (the height of each capital was five cubits),

17nettings of latticework and twisted threads of chain work for the capitals were on top of the pillars—seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

18So he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates all around on the netting covering the capitals on top of each capital.

19The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the portico were of lily design, four cubits high.

20So also the capitals on the two pillars—close to the belly next to the netting were the pomegranates in rows of 200 around both capitals.

21Thus he set up the pillars at the porticos of the Temple. He set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.

22On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
