King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram, |
| 14 |
whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was a man of Tyre and a craftsman in bronze. Huram was highly skilled and experienced in all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him. |
| 15 |
He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits around, by line. |
| 16 |
He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high. |
| 17 |
A network of interwoven chains festooned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. |
| 18 |
He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital. |
| 19 |
The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high. |
| 20 |
On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around. |
| 21 |
He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz. |
| 22 |
The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed. |
