11. Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.
12. The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of the Lord and the porch of the house.
13. Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.
14. He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
15. He cast two pillars of bronze eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits in circumference.
16. He made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17. He made lattices of checker work with wreaths of chainwork for the capitals on top of the pillars: seven for one capital and seven for the other.
18. Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same for the other capital.
19. The capitals that were on top of the pillars in the porch were four cubits high and in the shape of lilies.
20. The capitals on top of the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the latticework. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21. He set up the pillars in the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called it Jakin, and he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.
22. The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. This completed the work on the pillars.
