1 Kings 7:13-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,

14. the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.

15. And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.

16. Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.

17. And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.
