1 Kings 7:13-47
1599 Geneva Bible
13 ¶ Then King Solomon sent, and fet one Hiram out of [a]Tyre.
14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, his father being a man of Tyre, and wrought in brass: [b]he was full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge to work all manner of work in brass: who came to King Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 For he cast two pillars of brass: the height of a pillar was eighteen cubits, and a thread of twelve cubits did compass [c]either of the pillars.
16 And he made two [d]chapiters of molten brass to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of one of the chapiters was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits.
17 He made grates like network and [e]wreathen work like chains for the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars, even seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
18 So he made the pillars and two rows of pomegranates round about in the one grate to cover the chapiters that were upon the top. And thus did he for the other chapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars were after [f]lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had also above, [g]over against the belly [h]within the network pomegranates: for two hundred pomegranates were in the two ranks about upon [i]either of the chapiters.
21 And he set up the pillars in the [j]porch of the Temple. And when he had set up the right pillar, he called the name thereof [k]Jachin: and when he had set up the left pillar, he called the name thereof [l]Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was work of lilies: so was the workmanship of the pillars finished.
23 ¶ And he made a molten [m]sea of ten cubits wide from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits did compass it about.
24 And under the brim of it were knops like wild cucumbers compassing it round about, ten in one cubit, compassing the sea (A)round about: and the two rows of knops were cast, when it was molten.
25 It stood on twelve bulls, three looking toward the North, and three toward the West, and three toward the South, and three toward the East: and the sea stood above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 It was [n]an handbreadth thick, and the brim thereof was like the work of the brim of a cup with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand [o]baths.
27 ¶ And he made ten bases of brass, one base was four cubits long, and four cubits broad, and three cubits high.
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, bulls and Cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and bulls, were additions made of thin work.
30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners had [p]undersetters: under the caldron were undersetters molten at the side of every addition.
31 And the [q]mouth of it was within the chapiter and above to measure by the cubit: for the mouth thereof was round, made like a base, and it was a cubit and half a cubit: and also upon the mouth thereof were graven works, whose borders were foursquare, and not round.
32 And under the borders were four wheels and the axletrees of the wheels joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit, and half a cubit.
33 And the fashion of the wheels was like the fashion of a chariot wheel, their axletrees, and their naves and their [r]felloes, and their spokes were all molten.
34 And four undersetters were upon the four corners of one base: and the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was a round [s]compass of half a cubit high round about: and upon the top of the base the ledges thereof, and the borders thereof were of the same.
36 And upon the tables of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof he did grave Cherubims, lions and palm trees, on the side of every one, and additions round about.
37 Thus made he the ten bases, They had all one casting, one measure, and one size.
38 ¶ Then made he [t]ten cauldrons of brass, one cauldron contained forty baths, and every cauldron was four cubits, one cauldron was upon one base throughout the ten bases.
39 And he set the bases, five 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 [u]house Eastward toward the South.
40 ¶ And Hiram made cauldrons, and besoms, and basins, and Hiram finished all the work that he made to King Solomon for the house of the Lord:
41 To wit, two pillars and two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars, and two grates to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars,
42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two grates, even two rows of pomegranates for every grate to cover the two bowls of the chapiters, that were upon the pillars,
43 And the ten bases, and ten cauldrons upon the bases,
44 And the sea, and twelve bulls under that sea,
45 And pots, and besoms, and basins: and all these vessels, which [v]Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of shining brass.
46 In the plain of Jordan did the King cast them in [w]clay between Succoth and Zaretan.
47 And Solomon left to weigh all the vessels, because of the exceeding abundance, neither could the weight of the brass be counted.
