King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze; he was filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill to do every work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.

He cast the two pillars of bronze; each pillar was eighteen cubits high, and each measured twelve cubits around.

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

He made chains, ornamental chainwork, and rows of pomegranates for the capitals on the tops of the pillars—seven for one capital and seven for the other.

He made the pillars and placed two rows all around on one lattice to cover the capitals atop the pomegranates; so he made for the second as well.

The capitals on the tops of the pillars were made like lilies—four cubits.

The capitals on the two pillars were set above the netting that faced the hall, and two hundred pomegranates were arranged in rows all around on the second capital.

He set up the pillars at the entrance of the temple; he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.

On the tops of the pillars was lily work; and thus the work of the pillars was finished.

He made the Sea cast in one piece—ten cubits from rim to rim, perfectly round; its height was five cubits, and its circumference thirty cubits.

Around its rim, beneath it, were ten decorative bosses all around—encircling the Sea—and the bosses were cast in two rows in the casting.

It stood on twelve oxen: three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the Sea was above them all around, and all their faces looked inward.

Its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold two to three thousand baths.

He made ten bronze stands—each stand four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

This was the workmanship of the stands: they had frames and panels between the ledges.

On the frames that were between the ledges he carved lions, oxen, and cherubim; on the ledges also, both above and below, were lion and ox figures—work of an engraver.

For each stand he made four bronze wheels and bronze axles; the wheel rims were beneath the stand, and the rims were attached to it.

Its opening was round, and its rim was round; the opening was a cubit and a half; and its panels and frames were square, not round.

The four wheels were under the frames; the breadth of the wheels in the stand—the diameter of one wheel was a cubit and a half.

The workmanship of the wheels was like the work of chariot wheels—the spokes, the rims, the hubs, and the naves were all cast.

There were four supports at the four corners of each stand, from the stand itself.

On the top of the stand there was a half-cubit rim all around; and on the top of the stand were its rims and frames.

On its panels and on its frames he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees—work of an engraver—round about. Thus he made the ten stands, all of one casting, of one measure and one form for all of them.

He made ten bronze basins, each capable of holding forty baths; one basin on each stand, for the ten stands.

He set the stands—five on the right side of the house and five on the left—and placed the Sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast.

Hiram completed the basins, the stands, the lavers, and all the bronze work; Hiram finished all the work which he had made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

There were two rows of pomegranates to cover the two hundred pomegranates that were on the capitals of the pillars. And there were four hundred pomegranates for the two networks—two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two hundred pomegranates on the faces of the pillars.

The stands were ten, and the basins ten upon the stands.

The Sea was one, and the twelve oxen under the Sea.

The pots, the shovels, the basins, and all these utensils that Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were burnished bronze.

In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay of the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because there were so many; no one could weigh the bronze.

Solomon made all the vessels for the house of the LORD—the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the Presence was placed—were of gold.

He made ten lampstands—five on the right and five on the left—before the inner sanctuary; they were of hammered gold, with their flowers, lamps, and wick-trimmers of gold.

The stands, the basins, the sprinklers, the spoons, and the censers were of hammered gold; and the hinges for the doors of the inner house—the door of the Most Holy Place and the doors of the temple—were gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon finished for the house of the LORD was completed. Solomon brought the dedicated things of his father David—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them into the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
