But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he ¹ finished all his house.

He built also the house ¹ of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

And there were windows in three rows, and light was ¹ against light in three ranks.

And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before ¹ them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.

Then he made a porch ¹ for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto ¹ the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.

And ¹ above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.

And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, ¹ both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and ¹ he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of ¹ lily work in the porch, four cubits.

And he set up the pillars in the ¹ porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof ² Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof ³ Boaz.

And he made a molten ¹ sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand ¹ baths.

And the ¹ mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

And in the top of the base was there a round ¹ compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

Then made he ¹ ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the ¹ house eastward over against the south.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which ¹ Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.

And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the ¹ altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,

And the bowls, ¹ and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.
