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.

Schlachter 1951

Salomos eigener Palast

7 Aber an seinem Hause baute Salomo dreizehn Jahre lang, bis er es vollendet hatte.

2 Er baute nämlich das Haus des Libanon-Waldes; hundert Ellen lang, fünfzig Ellen breit und dreißig Ellen hoch; auf vier Reihen von zedernen Säulen, auf denen zederne Balken lagen; 3 und ein Dach von Zedernholz oben über den Gemächern, die über den Säulen lagen, deren fünfundvierzig waren, je fünfzehn auf einer Reihe. 4 Und es waren drei Reihen Balken, und die Fenster lagen einander gegenüber, dreimal. 5 Und alle Türen und Pfosten waren viereckig, aus Gebälk, und ein Fenster dem andern gegenüber, dreimal.

6 Und er machte eine Säulenhalle, fünfzig Ellen lang und dreißig Ellen breit, und noch eine Vorhalle mit Säulen und einer Schwelle davor.

7 Dazu machte er eine Thronhalle, um dort zu richten, nämlich die Gerichtshalle, und er täfelte sie mit Zedernholz vom Fußboden bis zu den Balken der Decke. 8 Und sein Haus, da er wohnte, im andern Hof, einwärts von der Halle, war von der gleichen Bauart. Salomo baute auch für die Tochter des Pharao, die er zur Gemahlin genommen hatte, ein Haus gleich dieser Halle. -

9 Solches alles ward gemacht aus kostbaren Steinen, nach der Schnur behauen, mit der Säge geschnitten auf der Innen- und Außenseite, vom Grunde an bis zum Dach, und draußen bis zum großen Hof. 10 Die Grundfesten aber bestanden aus kostbaren, großen Steinen, aus Steinen von zehn Ellen und Steinen von acht Ellen [Länge], 11 und darüber lagen kostbare Steine, nach dem Maß behauen, und Zedernbalken. 12 Aber der große Hof, ringsumher, hatte [eine Mauer von] drei Lagen behauener Steine und einer Lage Zedernbalken; ebenso der innere Hof des Hauses des Herrn und die Halle des Hauses.

Kunstschmiedearbeiten des Hiram

13 Und der König Salomo sandte hin und ließ Hiram von Tyrus holen; 14 der war Sohn einer Witwe aus dem Stamme Naphtali, sein Vater war ein Mann von Tyrus, ein Erzschmied. Der war voll Weisheit, Verstand und Kunstsinn, um allerlei Arbeiten in Erz auszuführen. Er kam zum König Salomo und führte alle Arbeiten für ihn aus.

15 Er goß die beiden ehernen Säulen; achtzehn Ellen hoch war jede Säule, ein Faden von zwölf Ellen vermochte sie zu umspannen. 16 Und er machte zwei Knäufe, aus Erz gegossen, um sie oben auf die Säulen zu setzen, und jeder Knauf war fünf Ellen hoch. 17 Kränze, als wären sie geflochten, und Schnüre wie Ketten, waren an den Knäufen oben auf den Säulen, sieben an dem einen Knauf und sieben an dem andern Knauf. 18 Und so machte er die Säulen; und zwei Reihen von Granatäpfeln gingen rings um das eine Flechtwerk, um die Knäufe zu bedecken, die oben auf den Säulen waren, und ebenso machte er es an dem andern Knauf. 19 Und die Knäufe oben auf den Säulen waren gemacht wie Lilien, vier Ellen [hoch]. 20 Und die Knäufe auf den beiden Säulen hatten auch oberhalb, nahe bei der Ausbauchung, welche über dem Flechtwerk war, zweihundert Granatäpfel, ringsum in Reihen geordnet. 21 Und er richtete die Säulen auf bei der Halle des Tempels und nannte die, welche er zur Rechten setzte, Jachin[a], und die zur Linken hieß er Boas[b]. 22 Und oben auf die Säulen kam das Lilienwerk. Damit war die Arbeit an den Säulen vollendet.

23 Er machte auch das gegossene Meer, zehn Ellen weit von einem Rande bis zum andern, es war ringsherum rund und fünf Ellen hoch. Und eine dreißig Ellen lange Schnur vermochte es zu umspannen. 24 Unterhalb seines Randes umgaben es Koloquinten, je zehn auf die Elle. Der Koloquinten aber waren zwei Reihen, gegossen aus einem Guß mit dem Meer.

25 Es stand auf zwölf Rindern, deren drei gegen Mitternacht, drei gegen Abend, drei gegen Mittag und drei gegen Morgen sahen; und das Meer ruhte oben auf ihnen, und das Hinterteil von allen war einwärts gekehrt. 26 Seine Dicke aber betrug eine Handbreite, und sein Rand war wie der Rand eines Bechers, wie die Blüte einer Lilie, und es faßte zweitausend Bat[c].

27 Er machte auch zehn eherne Ständer[d]. Jeder Ständer war vier Ellen lang und vier Ellen breit und drei Ellen hoch. 28 Diese Ständer aber waren so eingerichtet, daß sie Felder zwischen den Eckleisten hatten. 29 Und auf den Feldern zwischen den Eckleisten waren Löwen, Rinder und Cherubim; und auf den Eckleisten war es oben ebenso, und unterhalb der Löwen und Rinder waren herabhängende Kränze. 30 Und jeder Ständer hatte vier eherne Räder mit ehernen Achsen; an seinen vier Ecken waren Schulterstücke; unter dem Becken waren die Schulterstücke angegossen, gegenüber den Kränzen. 31 Und seine[e] Öffnung, innerhalb des Kopfstückes und darüber, maß eine Elle, und seine Öffnung war rund, nach Art eines Säulenfußes, anderthalb Ellen; auch an seiner Öffnung war Bildwerk; ihre Felder waren viereckig, nicht rund. 32 Die vier Räder aber standen unterhalb der Leisten, und die Achsen der Räder waren an dem Ständer. Jedes Rad war anderthalb Ellen hoch. 33 Und es waren Räder wie Wagenräder. Und ihre Achsen, Naben, Speichen und Felgen waren alle gegossen.

34 Es waren auch vier Schulterstücke an den vier Ecken eines jeden Ständers, die waren aus einem Guß mit dem Ständer. 35 Oben an dem Ständer lief eine Art von Gestell von der Höhe einer halben Elle ringsherum, und oben am Ständer waren seine Halter; diese und die Felder aus einem Guß mit ihm. 36 Und er grub auf die Tafeln seiner Seiten und auf seine Leisten Cherubim, Löwen und Palmbäume ein, je nachdem Raum vorhanden war, und Kränze ringsum. 37 So machte er die zehn Ständer alle aus einem Guß, nach einerlei Maß und Form.

38 Und er machte zehn eherne Kessel, vierzig Bat gingen in einen Kessel; ein jeder war vier Ellen weit, und auf jedem der zehn Ständer war ein Kessel. 39 Er setzte aber fünf Ständer an die rechte Seite und die andern fünf an die linke Seite des Hauses. Aber das Meer stellte er auf die rechte Seite des Hauses, nach Südosten hin.

40 Und Hiram machte die Töpfe, Schaufeln und Becken.

So vollendete er das ganze Werk, welches er dem König Salomo für das Haus des Herrn zu machen hatte:

41 die beiden Säulen und die Kugeln der Knäufe oben auf den beiden Säulen, und die beiden Kränze, um die Kugeln der Knäufe auf den Säulen zu decken.

42 Auch die vierhundert Granatäpfel an den beiden Kränzen, je zwei Reihen Granatäpfel an einem Kranz, um die zwei Kugeln der Knäufe auf den Säulen zu bedecken.

43 Dazu die zehn Ständer und die zehn Kessel oben auf den Ständern.

44 Und das eine Meer und die zwölf Rinder unter dem Meer.

45 Und die Töpfe, Schaufeln und Becken.

Und alle diese Geräte, die Hiram dem König Salomo machte für das Haus des Herrn, waren von glänzendem Erz. 46 In der Gegend am Jordan ließ sie der König gießen in lehmiger Erde, zwischen Sukkot und Zartan. 47 Und Salomo ließ alle diese Geräte ungewogen wegen der sehr großen Menge des Erzes; denn das Gewicht des Erzes konnte man nicht ermitteln.

48 Salomo machte auch alle Geräte, die zum Hause des Herrn gehörten:

den goldenen Altar, den goldenen Tisch, worauf die Schaubrote lagen;

49 fünf Leuchter zur Rechten und fünf Leuchter zur Linken, vor dem Chor, von feinem Gold, mit goldenen Blumen, Lampen und Lichtscheren.

50 Dazu Schalen, Messer, Becken, Pfannen und Rauchnäpfe von feinem Gold. Auch die Angeln an den Türen des innern Hauses, des Allerheiligsten, und an den Türen des Tempelhauses waren von Gold.

51 Als nun das ganze Werk vollendet war, welches der König Salomo am Hause des Herrn machte, brachte Salomo hinein, was sein Vater David geheiligt hatte: das Silber und das Gold und die Geräte legte er in den Schatz des Hauses des Herrn.

1 Kings 7
English Standard Version

Solomon Builds His Palace

7 Solomon was (A)building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house.

2 He built (B)the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was a hundred cubits[a] and its breadth fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits, and it was built on four[b] rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row. 4 There were window frames in three rows, and window opposite window in three tiers. 5 All the doorways and windows[c] had square frames, and window was opposite window in three tiers.

6 And he made (C)the Hall of Pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits. There was a porch in front with pillars, and (D)a canopy in front of them.

7 And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment. (E)It was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.[d]

8 His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court at the back of the hall, was of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter (F)whom he had taken in marriage.

9 All these were made of costly stones, cut according to measure, sawed with saws, back and front, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside to the great court. 10 The foundation was of costly stones, huge stones, stones of eight and ten cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, cut according to measurement, and cedar. 12 (G)The great court had three courses of cut stone all around, and a course of cedar beams; so had the inner court of the house of the Lord and (H)the vestibule of the house.

The Temple Furnishings

13 And King Solomon sent and brought (I)Hiram from 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 bronze. And (J)he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work.

15 (K)He cast (L)two pillars of bronze. (M)Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same.[e] 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and (N)the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice[f] for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. 18 Likewise he made pomegranates[g] in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital. 19 Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 The capitals were on the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the latticework. There were (O)two hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital. 21 (P)He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple. He set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz. 22 And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

23 (Q)Then he made (R)the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 24 Under its brim were (S)gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. 25 It stood on (T)twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. 26 Its thickness was a handbreadth,[h] and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.[i]

27 He also made the (U)ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high. 28 This was the construction of the stands: they had panels, and the panels were set in the frames, 29 and on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the frames, both above and below the lions and oxen, there were wreaths of beveled work. 30 Moreover, each stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and at the four corners were supports for a basin. The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each. 31 Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit. Its opening was round, as a pedestal is made, a cubit and a half deep. At its opening there were carvings, and its panels were square, not round. 32 And the four wheels were underneath the panels. The axles of the wheels were of one piece with the stands, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. 34 There were four supports at the four corners of each stand. The supports were of one piece with the stands. 35 And on the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the stand its stays and its panels were of one piece with it. 36 And on the surfaces of its stays and on its panels, he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around. 37 After this manner he made (V)the ten stands. All of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form.

38 And he made (W)ten basins of bronze. Each basin held forty baths, each basin measured four cubits, and there was a basin for each of the ten stands. 39 And he set the stands, five on the south side of the house, and five on the north side of the house. And he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

40 (X)Hiram also made (Y)the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord: 41 the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two (Z)latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars; 42 and the (AA)four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars; 43 the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; 44 and (AB)the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.

45 Now (AC)the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the Lord, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze. 46 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between (AD)Succoth and (AE)Zarethan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; (AF)the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

48 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the Lord: (AG)the golden altar, (AH)the golden table for (AI)the bread of the Presence, 49 (AJ)the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; (AK)the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and (AL)fire pans, of pure gold; and the sockets of gold, for the doors of the innermost part of the house, (AM)the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple.

51 Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in (AN)the things that David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
