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 called the name thereof Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the
work of the pillars finished.
