1 Kings 7
New American Standard Bible
Solomon’s Palace
7 Now (A)Solomon built his own house over the course of thirteen years, and he finished all of his house. 2 (B)He built the house of the timber from Lebanon; its length was [a]a hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars. 3 And it was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row. 4 There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window at three [b]intervals. 5 And all the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window at three [c]intervals.
6 Then he made (C)the hall of pillars; its length was [d]fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a (D)threshold in front of them.
7 And he made the hall of the (E)throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and (F)it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.
8 And his house where he was to live, the other courtyard inward from the hall, was of this same workmanship. (G)He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, (H)whom Solomon had married.
9 All of these were made of valuable stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the [e]coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.
10 And the foundation was of valuable stones, large stones, stones of [f]ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were valuable stones, cut according to measure, and cedar. 12 So (I)the large courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams as well as the inner courtyard of the house of the Lord, and (J)the porch of the house.
Hiram’s Work in the Temple
13 Now (K)King Solomon sent word and had Hiram brought from Tyre. 14 (L)He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan in bronze; and (M)he was filled with wisdom, skill, and knowledge for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and (N)performed all his work.
15 He fashioned (O)the two pillars of bronze; [g](P)eighteen cubits was the height of [h]each pillar, and a line of [i]twelve cubits [j]measured the circumference of both. 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to put on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was [k]five cubits and the height of the other capital was [l]five cubits. 17 There were lattices of latticework and wreaths of chainwork 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 two rows around on the one lattice to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. 19 The capitals which were on the tops of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. 20 So there were capitals on the two pillars, also above and close to the [m]rounded projection which was beside the lattice; and (Q)the pomegranates totaled two hundred in rows around [n]both capitals. 21 (R)And he set up the pillars at the (S)porch of the [o]main room: he set up the right pillar and named it [p]Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it [q]Boaz. 22 On the top of the pillars was the lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
23 (T)He also made the [r]Sea of (U)cast metal [s]ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in shape, and its height was five cubits, and [t]it was [u]thirty cubits in circumference. 24 Under its brim (V)gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, (W)completely surrounding the Sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast [v]with the rest. 25 (X)It was standing on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. 26 And it was a [w]hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold [x]two thousand baths.
27 Then (Y)he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was [y]four cubits, its width four cubits, and its height was three cubits. 28 This was the design of the stands: they had borders, that is, borders between the crossbars, 29 and on the borders which were between the crossbars were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the crossbars there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. 30 Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. 31 And its opening inside the crown at the top was a [z]cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and on its opening also there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. 34 Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. 35 And on the top of the stand there was a circular form [aa]half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its [ab]stays and its borders were part of it. 36 And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders cherubim, lions, and palm trees, as there was clear space on each, with wreaths all around. 37 (Z)He made the ten stands like this: all of them had the [ac]same casting, [ad]same measure, and [ae]same form.
38 (AA)And he made ten basins of bronze, [af]each holding [ag]forty baths; each basin was [ah]four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. 39 Then he placed the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the [ai]Sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.
40 Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord: 41 the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the (AB)two pillars, and the two lattices to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 42 and the (AC)four hundred pomegranates for the two lattices, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; 43 and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; 44 and (AD)the one [aj]Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea; 45 and (AE)the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze. 46 (AF)The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between (AG)Succoth and (AH)Zarethan. 47 However, Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; (AI)the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
48 Solomon also made all the furniture that was in the house of the Lord: (AJ)the golden altar and the golden table on which was set the (AK)bread of the Presence; 49 and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary; and (AL)the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50 also the cups, the [ak]shears, the bowls, the ladles, and the (AM)firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the house, that is, for the main room, of gold.
51 (AN)So all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the Lord was finished. And (AO)Solomon brought in the offerings vowed by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
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.
