were ten cubits.
[25] And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and
one size.
[26] The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
[27] And
he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that
the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and
their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
[28] And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
[29]
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees
and open flowers, within and without.
[30] And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and
without.
[31] And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were
a fifth part of the wall.
[32] The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of
cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the
cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
[33] So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree,
a fourth part of the wall.
[34] And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding,
and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
[35] And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees
and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
[36] And he built the inner
court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
[37] In the fourth year was the foundation
of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
[38] And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which
is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the
fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

[1] But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
[2] He built
also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof
fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon
the pillars.
[3] And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen
in a row.
[4] And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
[5] And all
the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
[6] And he
made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the
porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
[7] Then he made a
porch for the throne where he might 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 the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had
taken to wife, like unto this porch.
[9] All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed
stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the
outside toward 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 costly stones, after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars.
[12] And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a
row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
[13]
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
[14] He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali,
and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding,
and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
[15]
For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass
either 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 upon the top of the pillars; seven
for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
[18] And he made the pillars, and two rows round
about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so
did he for the other chapiter.
[19] And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work
in the porch, four cubits.
[20] And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over
against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round
about upon the other chapiter.
[21] And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up
the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name
thereof Boaz.
[22] And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
[23]
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his
