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.
