He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length [was] one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.
He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length [was] fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them [was] a portico with pillars, and a canopy [was] in front of them.
And the house where he dwelt [had] another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [as wife.]
All these [were of] costly stones cut to size, trimmed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the eaves, and also on the outside to the great court.
The great court [was] enclosed with three rows of hewn stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of the LORD and the vestibule of the temple.
He [was] the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.
Then he made two capitals [of] cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital [was] five cubits, and the height of the other capital [was] five cubits.
[He made] a lattice network, with wreaths of chainwork, for the capitals which [were] on top of the pillars: seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital.
So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that [were] on top; and thus he did for the other capital.
The capitals on the two pillars also [had pomegranates] above, by the convex surface which [was] next to the network; and there [were] two hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.
Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.
And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; [it was] completely round. Its height [was] five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
Below its brim [were] ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds [were] cast in two rows when it was cast.
It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea [was set] upon them, and all their back parts [pointed] inward.
on the panels that [were] between the frames [were] lions, oxen, and cherubim. And on the frames [was] a pedestal on top. Below the lions and oxen [were] wreaths of plaited work.
Every cart had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and its four feet had supports. Under the laver [were] supports of cast [bronze] beside each wreath.
Its opening inside the crown at the top [was] one cubit in diameter; and the opening [was] round, shaped [like] a pedestal, one and a half cubits in outside diameter; and also on the opening [were] engravings, but the panels were square, not round.
The workmanship of the wheels [was] like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axle pins, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs [were] all of cast [bronze.]
On the top of the cart, at the height of half a cubit, [it was] perfectly round. And on the top of the cart, its flanges and its panels [were] of the same casting.
On the plates of its flanges and on its panels he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was a clear space on each, with wreaths all around.
And he put five carts on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the Sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast.
Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon [for] the house of the LORD:
the two pillars, the [two] bowl-shaped capitals that [were] on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which [were] on top of the pillars;
four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that [were] on top of the pillars);
the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right [side] and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold;
the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, [both] for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy [Place) and] for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
