Solomon Builds His Palace
7 But it took Solomon 13 years to finish constructing his palace and the other buildings related to it. 2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long. It was 75 feet wide. And it was 45 feet high. It had four rows of cedar columns. They held up beautiful cedar beams. 3 Above the beams was a roof made out of cedar boards. It rested on the columns. There were three rows of beams with 15 in each row. The total number of beams was 45. 4 The windows of the palace were placed high up in the walls. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other. 5 All the doorways had frames shaped like rectangles. They were in front. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other.
6 Solomon made a covered area. It was 75 feet long. And it was 45 feet wide. Its roof was held up by columns. In front of it was a porch. In front of that were pillars and a roof that went out beyond them.
7 Solomon built the throne hall. It was called the Hall of Justice. That’s where he would serve as judge. He covered the hall with cedar boards from floor to ceiling. 8 The palace where he would live was set farther back. Its plan was something like the plan for the hall. Solomon had married Pharaoh’s daughter. He made a palace for her. It was like the hall.
9 All those buildings were made out of blocks of good quality stone. They were cut to the right size. They were made smooth on their back and front sides. Those stones were used for the outside of each building and for the large courtyard. They were also used from the foundations up to the roofs. 10 Large blocks of good quality stone were used for the foundations. Some were 15 feet long. Others were 12 feet long. 11 The walls above them were made out of good quality stones. The stones were cut to the right size. On top of them was a layer of cedar beams. 12 The large courtyard had a wall around it. The first three layers of the wall were made out of blocks of stone. The top layer was made out of beautiful cedar wood. The same thing was done with the inside courtyard of the Lord’s temple and its porch.
More Facts About the Temple
13 King Solomon sent messengers to Tyre. He wanted them to bring Huram back with them. 14 Huram’s mother was a widow. She was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram’s father was from Tyre. He was skilled in working with bronze. Huram also had great skill, knowledge and understanding in working with bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all the work he was asked to do.
15 Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 27 feet high. And each was 18 feet around. 16 Each pillar had a decorated top made out of bronze. Each top was seven and a half feet high. 17 Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top. 18 Huram made two rows of pomegranates. They circled the chains. The pomegranates decorated the tops of the pillars. Huram did the same thing for each pillar. 19 The tops on the pillars of the porch were shaped like lilies. The lilies were 6 feet high. 20 On the tops of both pillars were 200 pomegranates. They were in rows all around the tops. They were above the part that was shaped like a bowl. And they were next to the chains. 21 Huram set the pillars up at the temple porch. The pillar on the south he named Jakin. The one on the north he named Boaz. 22 The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished.
23 Huram made a huge metal bowl for washing. Its shape was round. It measured 15 feet from rim to rim. It was seven and a half feet high. And it was 45 feet around. 24 Below the rim there was a circle of gourds around the bowl. In every 18 inches around the bowl there were ten gourds. The gourds were arranged in two rows. They were made as part of the bowl itself.
25 The huge bowl stood on 12 bulls. Three of them faced north. Three faced west. Three faced south. And three faced east. The bowl rested on top of the bulls. Their rear ends were toward the center. 26 The bowl was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup. The rim was shaped like the bloom of a lily. The bowl held 12,000 gallons of water.
27 Huram also made ten stands out of bronze. They could be moved around. Each stand was six feet long. It was six feet wide. And it was four and a half feet high. 28 Here is how the stands were made. They had sides that were joined to posts. 29 On the sides between the posts were lions, bulls and cherubim. They were also on all of the posts. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths made out of hammered metal. 30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Each stand had a bowl that rested on four supports. The stand had wreaths on each side. 31 There was a round opening on the inside of each stand. The opening had a frame 18 inches deep. The sides were 27 inches high from the top of the opening to the bottom of the base. There was carving around the opening. The sides of the stands were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were under the sides. The axles of the wheels were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 27 inches across. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels. All the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made out of metal.
34 Each stand had four handles on it. There was one on each corner. They came out from the stand. 35 At the top of the stand there was a round band. It was nine inches deep. The sides and supports were connected to the top of the stand. 36 Huram carved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the sides of the stands. He also carved them on the surfaces of the supports. His carving covered every open space. He had also carved wreaths all around. 37 That’s how he made the ten stands. All of them were made in the same molds. And they had the same size and shape.
38 Then Huram made ten bronze bowls. Each one held 240 gallons. The bowls measured six feet across. There was one bowl for each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple. He placed the other five on the north side. He put the huge bowl on the south side. It was at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.
So Huram finished all the work he had started for King Solomon. Here’s what he made for the Lord’s temple.
41 He made the two pillars.
He made the two tops for the pillars. The tops were shaped like bowls.
He made the two sets of chains that were linked together. They decorated the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.
42 He made the 400 pomegranates for the two sets of chains. There were two rows of pomegranates for each chain. They decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.
43 He made the ten stands with their ten bowls.
44 He made the huge bowl. He made the 12 bulls that were under it.
45 He made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.
Huram made all those objects for King Solomon for the Lord’s temple. He made them out of bronze. Then he shined them up. 46 The king had made them in clay molds. It was done on the plain of the Jordan River between Sukkoth and Zarethan. 47 Solomon didn’t weigh any of those things. There were too many of them to weigh. No one even tried to weigh the bronze they were made out of.
48 Solomon also made everything in the Lord’s temple.
He made the golden altar.
He made the golden table for the holy bread.
49 He made the pure gold lampstands. There were five on the right and five on the left. They were in front of the Most Holy Room.
He made the gold flowers. He made the gold lamps and tongs.
50 He made the bowls, wick cutters, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and shallow cups for burning incense. All of them were made out of pure gold.
He made the gold bases for the doors of the inside room. That’s the Most Holy Room. He also made gold bases for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 King Solomon finished all the work for the Lord’s temple. Then he brought in the things his father David had set apart for the Lord. They included the silver and gold and all the other things for the Lord’s temple. Solomon placed them with the other treasures that were there.

7 ¶ But Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon, which was one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three orders, one against another in three orders.
5 And all the doors and posts were square, with some windows opposite the other windows in three orders.
6 And he made a porch of pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and the porch was before those others, with its corresponding pillars and thick beams.
7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of like work. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
9 All these works were of costly stones, cut and sawed with saws according to the measurements, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto 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 also costly stones, hewed according to their measurements, and work of cedar.
12 And the great court round about had three orders of hewed stones and an order of cedar beams, and likewise the inner court of the house of the LORD and the porch of the house.
13 ¶ And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre,
14 who was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been of Tyre. A worker in brass, full of wisdom and intelligence and knowledge in all work of brass. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work.
15 He made two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece, and a line of twelve cubits did compass each 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 to be placed upon the top of the pillars, seven for the one chapiter and seven for the other chapiter.
18 And when he had made the pillars, he also made two orders of pomegranates round about upon the network to cover the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars with the pomegranates, and so did he for the other chapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were in the form of lilies like those seen in the porch, for four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had two hundred pomegranates in two orders round about in each chapiter, on top of the belly of the chapiter, this belly being in front of the network.
21 And he stood up the pillars in the porch of the temple. And when he had set up the right pillar, he called the name of it Jachin; {Heb. The LORD establishes} and in standing up the left pillar, he called its name Boaz. {Heb. Only in Him is there strength}
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work, and so the work of the pillars was finished.
23 Likewise, he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other; it was perfectly round, and its 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 like gourds compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about in two orders, which were made 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 Negev and three looking toward the east; and upon them the sea rested, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 And it was a hand breadth thick, and its lip was made like the lip of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths.
27 He also made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of each base and four cubits the width and three cubits the height.
28 And the work of the bases was like this: they had borders, and the borders were between mouldings;
29 and upon the borders that were between the mouldings were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the mouldings of the base, above and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of bevelled work.
30 And each base had four brasen wheels and cardinals {hinged axles} of brass, and in its four corners it had shoulderpieces, which were molten at the side of each addition, to be under the laver.
31 Its mouth entered into the chapiter (in the joint that came out of the base) one cubit above, and its mouth was rounded like the workmanship (of the same joint) in the base, of a cubit and a half. There were also engravings upon the mouth of it with their borders, which were square, not round.
32 And under the borders were the four wheels, and the axletrees of the wheels came forth from the same base. The height of each wheel was one and a half cubits.
33 And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel, their axletrees and their rims and their spokes and their hubs were all molten.
34 Likewise, the four shoulderpieces to the four corners of each base, and the shoulderpieces were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base there was a rounded compass of half a cubit high and on the top of the base, its mouldings and borders which were part of it.
36 For on the tables of the mouldings and on the borders thereof, he made cherubim, lions, and palm trees, in front of the additions of each one round about.
37 After this manner he made ten bases cast in the same manner, of the same size and of the same shape.
38 Then he also made ten lavers of brass; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver measured four cubits; and he set a laver upon each one of the ten bases.
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 to the east towards the Negev.
40 Hiram made the lavers and the shovels and the basins likewise. So Hiram finished all the work that he made King Solomon for the house of the LORD:
41 That is, 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 head of the pillars,
42 and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two orders of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars,
43 and the ten bases and ten lavers upon the bases,
44 and one sea and twelve oxen under the sea,
45 and the pots and the shovels and the basins and all the other vessels, which Hiram made to King Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
46 And the king caused them all to be cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 And Solomon did not inquire the weight of the brass of all the vessels because they were exceeding many.
48 ¶ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: an altar of gold, and a table upon which the showbread was, also of gold,
49 and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right hand, and five on the left, in front of the oracle, with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold,
50 likewise the bowls and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censers of pure gold, also the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple.
51 So all the work that King Solomon made for the house of the LORD was complete. And Solomon brought in the things which David, his father, had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and the vessels, and he kept it all in the treasury of the house of the LORD.

Solomon Builds His Palace
7 It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.(A) 2 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. 3 It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns—forty-five beams, fifteen to a row. 4 Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other. 5 All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.[b]
6 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.
7 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) 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.(F)
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 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.

Nagpatayo ng Palasyo si Solomon
7 Nagpatayo rin si Solomon ng palasyo niya at inabot ng 13 taon ang pagpapatayo nito. 2-3 Ang isa sa mga gusali nito ay tinawag na Kagubatan ng Lebanon. Ang haba nito ay 150 talampakan, ang luwang ay 75 talampakan at ang taas ay 45 talampakan. Ito ay may apat[a] na hanay ng mga haliging sedro – 15 bawat hanay, at nakatukod ito sa 45 na pambalagbag sa ibabaw ng haligi kung saan nakakabit ang kisameng sedro. 4 Ang dalawang gilid ng gusaling magkaharap ay may tatlong hanay na bintana na magkakasunod. 5 May tatlong hanay rin itong parihabang mga pintuan na magkakaharap.
6 Ang isa pang gusali ay ang lugar na pinagtitipunan, na may maraming haligi. Ang haba nito ay 75 talampakan at ang luwang ay 45 talampakan. May balkonahe ito sa harapan, na may bubong at mga haligi.
7 Nagpatayo rin siya ng gusali kung saan inilagay niya ang kanyang trono. Ito rin ang lugar kung saan siya humahatol. Pinatakpan niya ito ng mga tablang sedro mula sa sahig hanggang sa kisame.[b]
8 Ang bahagi ng palasyo, kung saan nakatira si Solomon ay nasa likod lang ng gusali kung saan siya humahatol, at magkatulad ang pagkakagawa nito. Katulad din nito ang yari ng bahay na kanyang ipinagawa para sa kanyang asawa, na anak ng Faraon.[c]
9 Lahat ng mga gusaling ito, mula sa mga pundasyon hanggang sa mga bubong ay gawa sa pinakamagandang uri ng bato na pinagputol-putol at tinabas ang lahat ng gilid ayon sa tamang sukat. 10 Ang mga pundasyon ay gawa sa malalaki at magagandang uri ng bato. Ang haba ng ibang mga bato ay 15 talampakan at ang iba ay 12 talampakan. 11 Sa ibabaw nito ay mga kahoy na sedro at mamahaling mga bato na tinabas ayon sa tamang sukat. 12 Ang maluwang na bakuran ay napapaligiran ng pader, na ang bawat tatlong patong ng mga tinabas na bato ay pinatungan ng kahoy na sedro. Katulad din nito ang pagkakagawa ng mga pader ng bakuran sa loob ng templo ng Panginoon at ng balkonahe.
Ang mga Gamit ng Templo(A)
13 Ipinasundo ni Haring Solomon si Huram[d] sa Tyre 14 dahil magaling siyang panday ng mga tanso. Anak siya ng isang biyuda mula sa lahi ni Naftali at ang kanyang ama ay taga-Tyre, na isa ring panday ng mga tanso. Pumunta siya kay Haring Solomon at ginawa niya ang lahat ng ipinagawa sa kanya.
15 Gumawa si Huram ng dalawang haliging tanso na ang bawat isa ay may taas na 27 talampakan at may pabilog na sukat na 18 talampakan. 16 Gumawa rin siya ng dalawang ulo ng mga haliging gawa sa tanso, na ang bawat isa ay may taas na pitoʼt kalahating talampakan. 17 Ang bawat ulo ng haligi ay napapalamutian ng pitong kadenang dugtong-dugtong 18 na may dalawang hilerang palamuti na ang hugis ay parang prutas na pomegranata. 19 Ang hugis ng ulo ng mga haligi sa balkonahe ay parang mga bulaklak na liryo, at ang taas nito ay anim na talampakan. 20 Ang bawat ulo ng dalawang haligi ay napapaligiran ng dalawang hilera na may 200 na palamuti na ang hugis ay parang prutas na pomegranata. Ang palamuting ito ay nasa ibabaw ng bilog na bahagi ng ulo, sa tabi ng mga kadena. 21 Itinayo ni Huram ang mga haligi sa balkonahe ng templo. Ang haligi sa gawing timog ay tinawag niyang Jakin at ang haligi sa gawing hilaga ay tinawag niyang Boaz. 22 Ang hugis ng mga ulo ng mga haligi ay parang mga bulaklak na liryo. At natapos ang pagpapagawa ng mga haligi.
23 Pagkatapos, gumawa si Huram ng malaking lalagyan ng tubig na parang kawa, na tinatawag na Dagat. Ang lalim nito ay pitoʼt kalahating talampakan, ang luwang ay 15 talampakan at ang sukat sa paligid ay 45 talampakan. 24 Napapalibutan ito ng dalawang hilerang palamuti sa ilalim ng bibig nito. Ang bilog-bilog na palamuting ito ay nakapalibot – anim bawat isang talampakan. Kasama na itong ginawa nang gawin ang sisidlan. 25 Nakapatong ang sisidlan sa likod ng 12 tansong toro na magkakatalikod. Ang tatlong toro ay nakaharap sa gawing hilaga, ang tatlo ay sa kanluran, ang tatlo ay sa timog, at ang tatlo naman ay sa gawing silangan. 26 Ang kapal ng sisidlan ay mga tatlong pulgada at ang ilalim nito ay parang bibig ng tasa na nakakurba palabas katulad ng namumukadkad na bulaklak ng liryo. At maaari itong malagyan ng mga 11,000 galong tubig.
27 Gumawa rin si Huram ng sampung tansong kariton na gagamitin sa paghakot ng tubig. Ang haba ng bawat isa ay anim na talampakan, ang luwang ay anim ding talampakan at ang taas ay apat at kalahating talampakan. 28 Ganito ang pagkagawa ng mga kariton: Ang mga dingding nito ay may mga kwadro 29 at napapalamutian ng mga larawan ng leon, mga baka at mga kerubin. Ang ibabaw at ang ilalim ng mga kwadro ay may magkakatulad na palamuti na parang mga bulaklak. 30-31 Ang bawat kariton ay may apat na tansong gulong at mga tansong ehe. Sa bawat sulok ng mga kariton ay may tukod na humahawak sa pabilog na patungan ng tansong planggana. Ang mga tukod ay napapalamutian ng parang mga bulaklak na kabit-kabit. Ang pabilog na patungan ay nakaangat ng isaʼt kalahating talampakan sa ibabaw ng kariton, at ang luwang ng bunganga ay dalawang talampakan at tatlong pulgada. Ang paligid ng ilalim ay may mga inukit na palamuti. Ang dingding ng kariton ay kwadrado, hindi pabilog. 32 Sa ilalim ng mga kwadradong dingding ay may apat na gulong na nakakabit sa mga ehe, na kasama ng ginawa nang gawin ang kariton. Ang taas ng bawat gulong ay dalawang talampakan at tatlong pulgada 33 at katulad ito ng gulong ng karwahe. Ang mga ehe, tubo, rayos at tapalodo ng gulong ay gawa lahat sa tanso. 34 Ang bawat kariton ay may apat na hawakan – isa sa bawat gilid, at naiporma na ito kasama ng kariton. 35 Sa ibabaw ng bawat kariton ay may pabilog na leeg na may siyam na pulgada ang taas. Ang mga tukod nito at ang dingding ay naiporma na din kasama ng kariton. 36 Napapalamutian ang dingding at mga tukod ng mga larawan ng kerubin, leon at puno ng palma, kahit saan na may lugar para sa mga ito. At may palamuti rin ito na parang mga bulaklak na kabit-kabit sa paligid. 37 Ganito ang pagkakagawa ni Huram ng sampung kariton. Magkakatulad lahat ang kanilang laki at hugis, sapagkat iisa lang ang pinaghulmahan nilang lahat.
38 Nagpagawa rin si Huram ng sampung tansong planggana – isa para sa bawat kariton. Ang luwang ng bawat planggana ay anim na talampakan at maaaring lagyan ng 220 galong tubig. 39 Inilagay niya ang limang kariton sa bandang timog ng templo at ang lima namaʼy sa bandang hilaga. Inilagay niya ang lalagyan ng tubig na tinatawag na Dagat sa pagitan ng gawing silangan at gawing timog ng templo. 40 Nagpagawa rin siya ng mga palayok, mga pala at mga mangkok na ginagamit sa pangwisik.
Natapos ni Huram ang lahat ng ipinagawa sa kanya ni Haring Solomon para sa templo ng Panginoon. Ito ang kanyang mga ginawa:
41 ang dalawang haligi;
ang dalawang parang mangkok na ulo ng mga haligi;
ang dalawang magkadugtong na mga kadenang palamuti sa ulo ng mga haligi;
42 ang 400 palamuti na ang hugis ay parang prutas na pomegranata (nakakabit ang dalawang hilera nito sa bawat magkadugtong na mga kadenang nakapaikot sa ulo ng mga haligi);
43 ang sampung kariton at ang sampung planggana nito;
44 ang lalagyan ng tubig na tinatawag na Dagat at ang 12 tansong toro sa ilalim nito;
45 ang mga palayok, mga pala at mga mangkok na ginagamit sa pangwisik.
Ang lahat ng ito na ipinagawa ni Haring Solomon kay Huram na para sa templo ng Panginoon ay gawa lahat sa pinakinang na tanso. 46 Ipinagawa ang mga ito ni Haring Solomon sa pamamagitan ng hulmahan na nasa kapatagan ng Jordan, sa pagitan ng Sucot at Zaretan. 47 Napakarami ng mga bagay na ito, kaya hindi na ito ipinakilo ni Solomon; hindi alam kung ilang kilo ang mga tansong ito.
48 Nagpagawa rin si Solomon ng mga kagamitang ito para sa templo ng Panginoon:
ang gintong altar;
ang mga gintong mesa na pinaglalagyan ng tinapay na inihahandog sa presensya ng Dios;
49 ang mga patungan ng ilaw na purong ginto na nakatayo sa harap ng Pinakabanal na Lugar (lima sa bandang kanan at lima sa kaliwa);
ang mga gintong bulaklak, mga ilaw at mga pang-sipit;
50 ang mga baso na purong ginto, mga panggupit ng mitsa ng ilaw, mga mangkok na ginagamit sa pangwisik, mga sandok at mga lalagyan ng insenso;
ang mga gintong bisagra para sa mga pintuan ng Pinakabanal na Lugar at gitnang bahagi ng templo.
51 Nang matapos na ni Solomon ang lahat ng gawain para sa templo ng Panginoon, dinala niya sa bodega ng templo ang lahat ng bagay na itinalaga ng ama niyang si David pati na ang ginto, pilak at iba pang kagamitan.
