And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

1Kgs.7.8

He built his personal residence behind the Hall on a similar plan. Solomon also built another one just like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married.

1Kgs.7.8

And the palace in which he was to live, set farther back, was similar in design. Solomon also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married.

1Kgs.7.8

Solomon's living quarters surrounded a courtyard behind this hall; they were built the same way. He also built similar living quarters for Pharaoh's daughter, one of his wives.

1Kgs.7.9

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

1Kgs.7.9

No expense was spared--everything here, inside and out, from foundation to roof was constructed using high-quality stone, accurately cut and shaped and polished.

1Kgs.7.9

All these structures, from the outside to the great courtyard and from foundation to eaves, were made of blocks of high-grade stone cut to size and trimmed with a saw on their inner and outer faces.

1Kgs.7.9

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.

1Kgs.7.9

All these buildings were built entirely from huge, costly blocks of stone, cut and trimmed to exact measure on all sides.

1Kgs.7.10

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

1Kgs.7.10

The foundation stones were huge, ranging in size from twelve to fifteen feet, and of the very best quality.

1Kgs.7.10

The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits and some eight.

1Kgs.7.10

The foundation was of costly stones, large stones, some ten cubits and some eight cubits.

1Kgs.7.10

Some of the huge foundation stones were 15 feet long, and some were 12 feet long.

1Kgs.7.11

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

1Kgs.7.11

The finest stone was used above the foundation, shaped to size and trimmed with cedar.

1Kgs.7.11

And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed 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.

1Kgs.7.12

The courtyard was enclosed with a wall made of three layers of stone and topped with cedar timbers, just like the one in the porch of The Temple of GOD. [JC]

The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the LORD with its portico.

1Kgs.7.12

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.

1Kgs.7.12

1Kgs.7.13

And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

1Kgs.7.13

King Solomon sent to Tyre and asked Hiram (not the king; another Hiram) to come.

1Kgs.7.13

King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,

1Kgs.7.13

Now King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre.

1Kgs.7.13

King Solomon then asked for a man named Huram to come from Tyre,

1Kgs.7.14

He 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 cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

1Kgs.7.14

Hiram's mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali. His father was a Tyrian and a master worker in bronze. Hiram was a real artist--he could do anything with bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all the bronze work.

1Kgs.7.14

whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was a man of Tyre and a craftsman in bronze. Huram was highly skilled and experienced in all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.

1Kgs.7.14

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.

1Kgs.7.14

for he was a craftsman skilled in bronze work. He was half Israelite, since his mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been a foundry worker from Tyre. So he came to work for King Solomon.

1Kgs.7.15

For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

1Kgs.7.15

First he cast two pillars in bronze, each twenty-seven feet tall and eighteen feet in circumference.

1Kgs.7.15

He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits around, by line.

1Kgs.7.15

And he cast two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each.

1Kgs.7.15

Huram cast two bronze pillars, each 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.

1Kgs.7.16

And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:

1Kgs.7.16

He then cast two capitals in bronze to set on the pillars; each capital was seven and a half feet high

1Kgs.7.16

He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high.

1Kgs.7.16

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.

1Kgs.7.16

For the tops of the pillars he made capitals of molded bronze, each 7 1/2 feet tall.

1Kgs.7.17

And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

1Kgs.7.17

and flared at the top in the shape of a lily. Each capital was dressed with an elaborate filigree of seven braided chains and a double row of two hundred pomegranates, setting the pillars off magnificently.

1Kgs.7.17

A network of interwoven chains festooned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital.

1Kgs.7.17

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.

1Kgs.7.17

Each capital was decorated with seven sets of latticework and interwoven chains.

1Kgs.7.18

And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.

1Kgs.7.18

He set the pillars up in the entrance porch to The Temple; the pillar to the south he named Security (Jachin) and the pillar to the north Stability (Boaz).

1Kgs.7.18

He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital.

1Kgs.7.18

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.

1Kgs.7.18

He also made two rows of pomegranates that encircled the latticework to decorate the capitals over the pillars.

1Kgs.7.19

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

1Kgs.7.19

The capitals were in the shape of lilies. When the pillars were finished,

1Kgs.7.19

The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.

1Kgs.7.19

The capitals which were on top of the pillars in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits.

1Kgs.7.19

The capitals on the columns inside the foyer were shaped like lilies, and they were 6 feet tall.

1Kgs.7.20

And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.

1Kgs.7.20

Hiram's next project was to make the Sea--an immense round basin of cast metal fifteen feet in diameter, seven and a half feet tall, and forty-five feet in circumference.

1Kgs.7.20

On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.

1Kgs.7.20

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.

1Kgs.7.20

Each capital on the two pillars had two hundred pomegranates in two rows around them, beside the rounded surface next to the latticework.

1Kgs.7.21

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

1Kgs.7.21

Just under the rim there were two bands of decorative gourds, ten gourds to each foot and a half. The gourds were cast in one piece with the Sea.

1Kgs.7.21

He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.

1Kgs.7.21

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.

1Kgs.7.21

Huram set the pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one toward the south and one toward the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.

1Kgs.7.22

And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

1Kgs.7.22

The Sea was set on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the bulls faced outward supporting the Sea on their hindquarters.

1Kgs.7.22

The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed.

1Kgs.7.22

The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. So the work of the pillars was finished.

1Kgs.7.22

The capitals on the pillars were shaped like lilies. And so the work on the pillars was finished.

1Kgs.7.23

And he made a molten 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.

1Kgs.7.23

The Sea was three inches thick and flared at the rim like a cup, or like a lily. It held about 11,500 gallons.

1Kgs.7.23

He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.

1Kgs.7.23

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.

1Kgs.7.23

Then Huram cast a large round tank, 15 feet across from rim to rim; it was called the Sea. It was 7 1/2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.

1Kgs.7.24

And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

1Kgs.7.24

Hiram also made ten washstands of bronze. Each was six feet square and four and a half feet tall.

1Kgs.7.24

Below the rim, gourds encircled it-ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

1Kgs.7.24

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.

1Kgs.7.24

The Sea was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot all the way around, and they had been cast as part of the tank.

1Kgs.7.25

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

1Kgs.7.25

They were made like this: Panels were fastened to the uprights.

1Kgs.7.25

The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.

1Kgs.7.25

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.

1Kgs.7.25

The Sea rested on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east.

1Kgs.7.26

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 baths.

1Kgs.7.26

Lions, bulls, and cherubim were represented on the panels and uprights. Beveled wreath-work bordered the lions and bulls above and below.

1Kgs.7.26

It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.

1Kgs.7.26

It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained two thousand baths.

1Kgs.7.26

The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons of water.

1Kgs.7.27

And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

1Kgs.7.27

Each stand was mounted on four bronze wheels with bronze axles. The uprights were cast with decorative relief work.

1Kgs.7.27

He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.

1Kgs.7.27

He also made ten carts of bronze; four cubits was the length of each cart, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

1Kgs.7.27

Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet tall.

1Kgs.7.28

And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

1Kgs.7.28

Each stand held a basin on a circular engraved support a foot and a half deep set on a pedestal two and a quarter feet square. The washstand itself was square.

1Kgs.7.28

This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights.

1Kgs.7.28

And this was the design of the carts: They had panels, and the panels were between frames;

1Kgs.7.28

They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.

1Kgs.7.29

And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

1Kgs.7.29

The axles were attached under the stand and the wheels fixed to them. The wheels were twenty-seven inches in diameter;

1Kgs.7.29

On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim-and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work.

1Kgs.7.29

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.

1Kgs.7.29

Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath decorations.

1Kgs.7.30

And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

1Kgs.7.30

they were designed like chariot wheels. Everything--axles, rims, spokes, and hubs--was of cast metal.

1Kgs.7.30

Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side.

1Kgs.7.30

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.

1Kgs.7.30

Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. At each corner of the carts were supporting posts for the bronze basins; these supports were decorated with carvings of wreaths on each side.

1Kgs.7.31

And the 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.

1Kgs.7.31

There was a handle at the four corners of each washstand, the handles cast in one piece with the stand.

1Kgs.7.31

On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half. Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round.

1Kgs.7.31

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.

1Kgs.7.31

The top of each cart had a circular frame for the basin. It projected 1 1/2 feet above the cart's top like a round pedestal, and its opening was 2 1/4 feet across; it was decorated on the outside with carvings of wreaths. The panels of the carts were square, not round.

1Kgs.7.32

And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

1Kgs.7.32

At the top of the washstand there was a ring about nine inches deep. The uprights and handles were cast with the stand.

1Kgs.7.32

The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half.

1Kgs.7.32

Under the panels were the four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the cart. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

1Kgs.7.32

Under the panels were four wheels that were connected to axles that had been cast as one unit with the cart. The wheels were 2 1/4 feet in diameter

1Kgs.7.33

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.

1Kgs.7.33

Everything and every available surface was engraved with cherubim, lions, and palm trees, bordered by arabesques.

1Kgs.7.33

The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.

1Kgs.7.33

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.

1Kgs.7.33

and were similar to chariot wheels. The axles, spokes, rims, and hubs were all cast from molten bronze.

1Kgs.7.34

And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

1Kgs.7.34

The washstands were identical, all cast in the same mold.

1Kgs.7.34

Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.

1Kgs.7.34

And there were four supports at the four corners of each cart; its supports were part of the cart itself.

1Kgs.7.34

There were supports at each of the four corners of the carts, and these, too, were cast as one unit with the cart.

1Kgs.7.35

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

1Kgs.7.35

He also made ten bronze washbasins, each six feet in diameter with a capacity of 230 gallons, one basin for each of the ten washstands.

1Kgs.7.35

At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.

1Kgs.7.35

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.

1Kgs.7.35

Around the top of each cart there was a rim 9 inches wide. The supports and side panels were cast as one unit with the cart.

1Kgs.7.36

For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

1Kgs.7.36

He arranged five stands on the south side of The Temple and five on the north. The Sea was placed at the southeast corner of The Temple.

1Kgs.7.36

He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.

1Kgs.7.36

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.

1Kgs.7.36

Carvings of cherubim, lions, and palm trees decorated the panels and supports wherever there was room, and there were wreaths all around.

1Kgs.7.37

After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

1Kgs.7.37

Hiram then fashioned the various utensils: buckets and shovels and bowls. Hiram completed all the work he set out to do for King Solomon on The Temple of GOD:

1Kgs.7.37

This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.

1Kgs.7.37

Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.

1Kgs.7.37

All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.

1Kgs.7.38

Then made he 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.

1Kgs.7.38

two pillars; two capitals on top of the pillars; two decorative filigrees for the capitals;

1Kgs.7.38
