I Kings 7:13-7:26
13. King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14. He was the son of a widow 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 skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon , and performed all his work.
15. For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.
16. He made two capitals of molten brass, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17. There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
18. So he made the pillars; and there were two rows around about on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and so he did for the other capital.
19. The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
20. There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred in rows around about on the other capital.
21. He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it, Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it, Boaz.
22. On the top of the pillars was lily work: so the work of the pillars finished.
23. He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in form. And the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
24. Under the brim of it round about there were buds which did compass it for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
25. It stood on 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 on them above, and all their hinderparts were inward.
26. It was a hand breadth thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.
