建黎巴嫩林宫

所罗门为自己建造宫室,十三年方才造成。 又建造黎巴嫩林宫,长一百肘,宽五十肘,高三十肘。有香柏木柱三[a]行,柱上有香柏木柁梁, 其上以香柏木为盖,每行柱子十五根,共有四十五根。 有窗户三层,窗与窗相对。 所有的门框都是厚木见方的,有窗户三层,窗与窗相对。 并建造有柱子的廊子,长五十肘,宽三十肘。在这廊前又有廊子,廊外有柱子和台阶。 又建造一廊,其中设立审判的座位,这廊从地到顶都用香柏木遮蔽。 廊后院内有所罗门住的宫室,工作与这工作相同。所罗门又为所娶法老的女儿建造一宫,做法与这廊子一样。

建造这一切所用的石头都是宝贵的,是按着尺寸凿成的,是用锯里外锯齐的。从根基直到檐石,从外头直到大院,都是如此。 10 根基是宝贵的大石头,有长十肘的,有长八肘的, 11 上面有香柏木和按着尺寸凿成宝贵的石头。 12 大院周围有凿成的石头三层,香柏木一层,都照耶和华殿的内院和殿廊的样式。

户兰之巧技

13 所罗门王差遣人往推罗去,将户兰召了来。 14 他是拿弗他利支派中一个寡妇的儿子,他父亲是推罗人,做铜匠的。户兰满有智慧、聪明、技能,善于各样铜作。他来到所罗门王那里,做王一切所要做的。

制铜柱

15 他制造两根铜柱,每根高十八肘,围十二肘。 16 又用铜铸了两个柱顶安在柱上,各高五肘。 17 柱顶上有装修的网子和拧成的链索,每顶七个。 18 网子周围有两行石榴遮盖柱顶,两个柱顶都是如此。 19 廊子的柱顶径四肘,刻着百合花。 20 两柱顶的鼓肚上挨着网子,各有两行石榴环绕,两行共有二百。 21 他将两根柱子立在殿廊前头,右边立一根,起名叫雅斤,左边立一根,起名叫波阿斯 22 在柱顶上刻着百合花。这样,造柱子的工就完毕了。

铸铜海

23 他又铸一个铜海,样式是圆的,高五肘,径十肘,围三十肘。 24 在海边之下,周围有野瓜的样式,每肘十瓜,共有两行,是铸海的时候铸上的。 25 有十二只铜牛驮海,三只向北,三只向西,三只向南,三只向东。海在牛上,牛尾都向内。 26 海厚一掌,边如杯边,又如百合花,可容二千罢特。

制铜座

27 他用铜制造十个盆座,每座长四肘,宽四肘,高三肘。 28 座的造法是这样:四面都有心子,心子在边子当中。 29 心子上有狮子和牛并基路伯。边上有小座,狮子和牛以下有垂下的璎珞。 30 每盆座有四个铜轮和铜轴。小座的四角上在盆以下,有铸成的盆架,其旁都有璎珞。 31 小座高一肘,口是圆的,仿佛座的样式,径一肘半,在口上有雕工,心子是方的,不是圆的。 32 四个轮子在心子以下,轮轴与座相连,每轮高一肘半。 33 轮的样式如同车轮,轴、辋、辐、毂都是铸的。 34 每座四角上都有盆架,是与座一同铸成的。 35 座上有圆架,高半肘。座上有撑子和心子,是与座一同铸的。 36 在撑子和心子上刻着基路伯、狮子和棕树,周围有璎珞。 37 十个盆座都是这样,铸法、尺寸、样式相同。

制铜盆

38 又用铜制造十个盆,每盆可容四十罢特,盆径四肘。在那十座上,每座安设一盆。 39 五个安在殿门的右边,五个放在殿门的左边。又将海放在殿门的右旁,就是南边。 40 户兰又造了盆、铲子和盘子。这样,他为所罗门王做完了耶和华殿的一切工。 41 所造的就是两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶,并两个盖柱顶的网子, 42 和四百石榴,安在两个网子上,每网两行,盖着两个柱上如球的顶。 43 十个座和其上的十个盆, 44 海和海下的十二只牛, 45 盆、铲子、盘子。这一切都是户兰所罗门王用光亮的铜为耶和华的殿造成的, 46 是遵王命在约旦平原,疏割撒拉但中间借胶泥铸成的。 47 这一切所罗门都没有过秤,因为甚多,铜的轻重也无法可查。

48 所罗门又造耶和华殿里的金坛和陈设饼的金桌子; 49 内殿前的精金灯台,右边五个,左边五个;并其上的金花、灯盏、蜡剪; 50 与精金的杯、盘、镊子、调羹、火鼎;以及至圣所,内殿的门枢和外殿的门枢。

殿工告竣

51 所罗门王做完了耶和华殿的一切工,就把他父大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿都带来,放在耶和华殿的府库里。

所羅門的王宮

所羅門用了十三年的時間為自己興建王宮。 他建造的黎巴嫩林宮長四十五米,寬二十二米半,高十三米半,有三行香柏木柱,柱子支撐著香柏木橫樑。 每一行木柱有十五根,共四十五根。殿頂鋪香柏木板。 宮殿有三排窗戶,窗與窗相對; 宮殿的門框和窗戶都是方形的,三排窗戶彼此相對。

他又建了一座有柱子的廊子,長二十二米半,寬十三米半,前面還有帶柱子的門廊和篷子。 此外,他又建造了一個判案的公堂。堂內從地板到天花板都鋪上了香柏木。 所羅門的寢宮就在公堂後面的院內,建築樣式和公堂相同。所羅門又為妻子——法老的女兒造了一座類似的宮室。

這些宮殿,從根基到牆頂,從外院到內殿用的都是上等的石頭,按規格裡外用鋸切割整齊。 10 根基用的是非常珍貴的石頭,它們的體積巨大,有些甚至是長達三米半至四米半的巨石, 11 上面是按照規格鑿好的上等石頭以及香柏木。 12 大院周圍的牆由三層鑿好的石頭和一層香柏木建成,正如耶和華殿的內院和殿廊的牆。

戶蘭造聖殿的器具

13 所羅門王派人從泰爾把戶蘭召來。 14 戶蘭是拿弗他利支派一個寡婦的兒子,父親是泰爾的銅匠。戶蘭聰明伶俐,技術高超,擅長製造各種銅器。他前來朝見所羅門王,領命負責一切銅器工程。

15 他鑄造了兩根銅柱,每根高八米,周長五點四米, 16 然後用銅鑄造了兩個高二點二五米的柱冠,安在柱頂上。 17 每一個柱冠上裝飾著七條鏈子織成的網, 18 網周圍環繞著兩行石榴。 19 門廊的柱冠高一點八米,形狀像百合花。 20 在每個柱冠靠近網子鼓起來的地方圍著兩行石榴,共二百個。 21 這兩根銅柱豎立在殿廊的入口,南邊那根稱為雅斤,北邊那根稱為波阿斯。 22 柱冠的形狀像百合花。這樣,銅柱就造成了。

23 他又鑄造了一個圓形的銅海,高二點二五米,直徑四點五米,周長十三點五米。 24 在銅海的邊緣下圍繞著兩圈野瓜圖案,每米有二十個野瓜,是跟銅海一起鑄造的。 25 有十二頭銅牛馱著銅海,三頭向北,三頭向西,三頭向南,三頭向東。銅海安在牛上,牛尾都向內。 26 銅海厚八釐米,邊如杯邊,又如百合花,容量是四萬四千升。 27 戶蘭用銅造了十個盆座,每個長一點八米,寬一點八米,高一點三五米。 28 盆座四面裝上鑲板,鑲板固定在框架上。 29 鑲板和框架上刻著獅子、牛和基路伯天使,獅子和牛的上面和下面雕刻著花環。 30 每一個盆座都有四個銅輪和銅軸,盆放在有四個支腳鑄成的盆架上,盆架周圍有花環圖案。 31 盆座的開口呈圓形,深四十五釐米,直徑七十釐米,開口周圍有雕刻。鑲板是方形的,不是圓形的, 32 下面有四個七十釐米高的輪子,輪軸固定在盆座上。 33 輪子的樣式像戰車的輪子,軸、輞、輻、轂都是鑄成的。 34 每個盆座的四角都有支腳,支腳和盆座一起鑄成。 35 盆座上有一個高二十三釐米的圓架,上面的支架和鑲板是和盆座一起鑄成的。 36 支架和鑲板都刻上基路伯天使、獅子和棕樹的圖案,周圍有花環圖案。 37 十個盆座的鑄法、大小和形狀相同。 38 他又用銅製造了十個盆,盆徑一點八米,容量八百八十升。十個銅盆分別放在十個盆座上。 39 殿門左右各放五個盆座。銅海放在殿的東南角。

40 他又製造了其他的盆、鏟和碗。他為所羅門王完成了耶和華殿的一切工作。 41 他所製造的有兩根柱子,兩個碗狀的柱冠,兩個裝飾柱冠的網子, 42 四百個裝飾網子的石榴,每個網子上兩行石榴,裝飾碗狀的柱冠; 43 十個盆座及盆座上的十個銅盆; 44 銅海和銅海下面的十二頭銅牛; 45 盆、鏟、碗。這些都是戶蘭用磨亮的銅為耶和華的殿造的器具。 46 這些都是照王的命令在疏割和撒拉但之間的約旦平原用泥模鑄成的。 47 所羅門沒有秤過這些器具,因為太多,銅的重量無法統計。

48 所羅門又為耶和華的殿造了以下器具:金壇、放供餅的金桌; 49 至聖所前面的純金燈臺,左右各五個;燈臺上的金花、燈盞和蠟剪; 50 純金造的杯、蠟剪、碗、碟和火鼎以及至聖所和外殿入口的金門樞。

51 所羅門王完成耶和華殿的一切工作後,就把他父親大衛獻給耶和華的金銀和器具都搬進耶和華殿的庫房。

Solomon Builds His Palace

It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.(A) He built the Palace(B) of the Forest of Lebanon(C) a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high,[a] with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams. It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns—forty-five beams, fifteen to a row. Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other. All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.[b]

He made a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty wide.[c] In front of it was a portico, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.

He built the throne hall, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge,(D) and he covered it with cedar from floor to ceiling.[d](E) 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.(F)

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 smoothed on their inner and outer faces. 10 The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits[e] and some eight.[f] 11 Above were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams. 12 The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses(G) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the Lord with its portico.

The Temple’s Furnishings(H)(I)

13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,[g](J) 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom,(K) with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all(L) the work assigned to him.

15 He cast two bronze pillars,(M) each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.[h] 16 He also made two capitals(N) of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits[i] high. 17 A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. 18 He made pomegranates in two rows[j] encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars.[k] He did the same for each capital. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits[l] high. 20 On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates(O) in rows all around. 21 He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin[m] and the one to the north Boaz.[n](P) 22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars(Q) was completed.

23 He made the Sea(R) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line(S) of thirty cubits[o] to measure around it. 24 Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls,(T) 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. 26 It was a handbreadth[p] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.[q]

27 He also made ten movable stands(U) of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.[r] 28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights. 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. 30 Each stand(V) had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side. 31 On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit[s] deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half.[t] Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round. 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. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.

34 Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand. 35 At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit[u] deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand. 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. 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.

38 He then made ten bronze basins,(W) each holding forty baths[v] and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the pots[w] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.(X)

So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

41 the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals(Y) on top of the pillars);

43 the ten stands with their ten basins;

44 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

45 the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.(Z)

All these objects that Huram(AA) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain(AB) of the Jordan between Sukkoth(AC) and Zarethan.(AD) 47 Solomon left all these things unweighed,(AE) because there were so many;(AF) the weight of the bronze(AG) was not determined.

48 Solomon also made all(AH) the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:

the golden altar;

the golden table(AI) on which was the bread of the Presence;(AJ)

49 the lampstands(AK) of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary);

the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;

50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(AL) and censers;(AM)

and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(AN)—the silver and gold and the furnishings(AO)—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.

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

He built also the house 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 it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

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

And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was 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 them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.

Then he made a porch 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.

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.

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.

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

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

12 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.

13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

39 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 house eastward over against the south.

40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord:

41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;

42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;

43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

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

46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

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

49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

50 And the bowls, 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.

51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
