Dual Panel1Solomon <08010> took <03615> thirteen <06240> <07969> years <08141> to build <01129> his palace <01004>.
2He named <01129> it “The Palace <01004> of the Lebanon <03844> Forest <03293>”; it was 150 <02572> <03967> feet <0520> long <0753>, 75 feet <0520> wide <07341>, and 45 <07970> feet <0520> high <06967>. It had four <0702> rows <02905> of cedar <0730> pillars <05982> and cedar <0730> beams <03773> above <05921> the pillars <05982>.
3The roof above <04605> the beams <06763> supported <05921> by the pillars <05982> was also made of <05603> cedar <0730>; there were forty-five <02568> <02568> <0705> beams, fifteen <06240> per row <02905>.
4There were three <07969> rows <02905> of windows <08261> arranged in sets <06471> of three <07969>.
5All <03605> of the entrances <04201> <06607> were rectangular <07251> in shape <08260> and they were arranged <04136> in sets <06471> of three <07969>.
6He made <06213> a colonnade <05982> <0197> 75 feet <0520> <02572> long <0753> and 45 feet <0520> <07970> wide <07341>. There was a porch <0197> in <05921> front <06440> of this and pillars <05982> and a roof <05646> in <05921> front <06440> of the porch.
7He also made <06213> a throne <03678> room <0197>, called <08033> “The Hall <0197> of Judgment <04941>,” where <0834> he made judicial decisions <08199>. It was paneled <05603> with cedar <0730> from the floor <07172> to <05704> the rafters.
8The palace <01004> where <0834> he lived <03427> was constructed in a similar way. He also constructed <06213> a palace <01004> like this hall <0197> for Pharaoh’s <06547> daughter <01323>, whom <0834> he <08010> had married <03947>.
9All <03605> of these <0428> were built with the best <03368> stones <068>, chiseled <01496> to the right size <04060> and cut <01641> with a saw <04050> on all sides <02351>, from the foundation <04527> to <05704> the edge of the roof <02947> and from the outside <02351> to <05704> the great <01419> courtyard <02691>.
10The foundation <03245> was made of large <01419> valuable <03368> stones <068> <068> <068> <068>, measuring either 15 feet <0520> <06235> or 12 feet <0520> <08083>.
11Above <04605> the foundation the best <03368> stones <068>, chiseled <01496> to the right size <04060>, were used along with cedar <0730>.
12Around <05439> the great <01419> courtyard <02691> were three <07969> rows <02905> of chiseled stones <01496> and one row <02905> of cedar <0730> beams <03773>, like the inner <06442> courtyard <02691> of the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004> and the hall <0197> of the palace <01004>.
13King <04428> Solomon <08010> sent <07971> for Hiram <02438> of Tyre <06865>.
14He was the son <01121> of a widow <0490> from the tribe <04294> of Naphtali <05321>, and his father <01> was a craftsman <02794> in bronze <05178> from Tyre <06876>. He had the skill <02451> and knowledge <01847> <08394> to make <06213> all <03605> kinds of works <04399> of bronze <05178>. He reported <0935> to <0413> King <04428> Solomon <08010> and did <06213> all <03605> the work <04399> he was assigned.
15He fashioned <06696> two <08147> bronze <05178> pillars <05982>; each pillar <05982> was 27 feet <0520> <06240> <08083> high <06967> and 18 feet <0520> <06240> <08147> in circumference <05437>.
16He made <06213> two <08147> bronze <05178> tops <07218> for the pillars <05982>; each <0259> was seven-and-a-half feet <0520> <02568> high <06967>.
17The latticework <07639> on the tops of the pillars <03805> was adorned <04639> with ornamental <04639> wreaths <01434> and chains <08333>; the top <07218> of each pillar <05982> had seven <07651> groupings <03805> of ornaments <03805>.
18When he made <06213> the pillars <05982>, there were two <08147> rows <02905> of pomegranate-shaped <07416> ornaments <03805> around <05439> the latticework <07639> covering <03680> the top of each pillar <03805>.
19The tops <03805> of the two pillars <05982> in the porch <0197> were shaped <04639> like lilies <07799> and were six feet high <0520> <0702>.
20On <05921> the top <03805> of each <08147> pillar <05982>, right <01571> above <04605> the bulge <0990> beside <05980> the latticework <07639>, there were two hundred <03967> pomegranate-shaped <07416> ornaments <03805> arranged in rows <02905> all the way around <05439>.
21He set up <06965> the pillars <05982> on the porch <0197> in front of the main hall <01964>. He erected <06965> one pillar <05982> on the right <03233> side and called <08034> <07121> it Jakin <03199>; he erected <06965> the other pillar <05982> on the left <08042> side and called <08034> <07121> it Boaz <01162>.
22The tops <07218> of the pillars <05982> were shaped <04639> like lilies <07799>. So the construction <04399> of the pillars <05982> was completed <08552>.
23He also made <06213> the large bronze basin <04165> called “The Sea <03220>.” It measured 15 feet <0520> <06235> from rim <08193> to <05704> rim <08145>, was circular <05696> in shape <05439>, and stood seven-and-a-half feet <0520> <02568> high <06967>. Its circumference <05439> <05437> <06961> was 45 feet <0520> <07970>.
24Under <08478> the rim <08193> all the way around <05439> it were round <05437> ornaments <06497> arranged in settings <05362> 15 feet <0520> <06235> long. The ornaments <06497> were in two <08147> rows <02905> and had been cast <03333> <03332> with “The Sea <03220>.”
25“The Sea” stood <05975> on <05921> top of twelve <06240> <08147> bulls <01241>. Three <07969> faced <06437> northward <06828>, three <07969> westward <03220> <06437>, three <07969> southward <05045>, and three <07969> eastward <04217> <06437>. “The Sea <03220>” was placed on <05921> top <04605> of them, and they all <03605> faced outward <01004> <0268>.
26It was four fingers <02947> thick <05672> and its rim <08193> was like that <08193> of a cup <03563> shaped <04639> like a lily <07799> blossom <06525>. It could hold <03557> about 12,000 gallons <01324> <0505>.
27He also made <06213> ten <06235> bronze <05178> movable stands <04350>. Each stand <04350> was six feet <0520> <0702> long <0753>, six feet <0520> <0702> <0259> wide <07341>, and four-and-a-half feet <0520> <07969> high <06967>.
28The stands <04350> were constructed <04639> with frames <04526> between <0996> the joints <07948>.
29On <05921> these frames <04526> and joints <07948> were ornamental lions <0738>, bulls <01241>, and cherubs <03742>. Under <08478> the lions <0738> and bulls <01241> were decorative <03914> wreaths <04174> <04639>.
30Each <0259> stand <04350> had four <0702> bronze <05178> wheels <0212> with bronze <05178> axles <05633> and four <0702> supports <03802>. Under <08478> the basin <03595> the supports <03802> were fashioned <03333> on each <0376> side <05676> with wreaths <03914>.
31Inside <04605> the stand <01004> was a round opening <06310> that was a foot-and-a-half deep <0520>; it had a support <03653> that was two and one-quarter feet long <0520> <02677> <0520>. On the edge <05921> of the opening <06310> were carvings <04734> in square <07251> frames <04526>.
32The four <0702> wheels <0212> were under <08478> the frames <04526> and the crossbars <03027> of the axles <0212> were connected to the stand <04350>. Each wheel <0212> was two and one-quarter feet <0520> <02677> <0520> <0259> high <06967>.
33The wheels <0212> were constructed <04639> like chariot <04818> wheels <0212>; their crossbars <03027>, rims <01354>, spokes <02839>, and hubs <02840> were made of cast <03332> metal.
34Each stand <04350> <04350> had four <0702> supports <03802>, one <0259> per side <06438> projecting out from <04480> the stand <03802>.
35On top <07218> of each stand <04350> was a round <05696> opening three-quarters of a foot <0520> <02677> deep <06967>; there were also supports <03027> and frames <04526> on <05921> top <07218> of the stands <04350>.
36He engraved <06605> ornamental cherubs <03742>, lions <0738>, and palm trees <08561> on <05921> the plates <03871> of the supports <03027> and frames <04526> wherever there was room <04626>, with wreaths <03914> all around <05439>.
37He made <06213> the ten <06235> stands <04350> in this <02063> way. All <03605> of them were cast <04165> in one <0259> mold and were identical <0259> in measurements <04060> and shape <07095>.
38He also made <06213> ten <06235> bronze <05178> basins <03595>, each of which could hold <03557> about 240 gallons <01324> <0705>. Each <0259> basin <03595> was six feet <0520> <0702> in diameter; there was one <0259> basin <03595> for each <0259> stand <04350>.
39He put <05414> five <02568> basins <04350> on <05921> the south <03225> side <03802> of the temple <01004> and five <02568> on <05921> the north <08040> side <03802>. He put <05414> “The <0853> Sea <03220>” on the south <03233> side <03802>, in the southeast <05045> <04136> <06924> corner.
40Hiram <02438> also made <06213> basins <03595>, shovels <03257>, and bowls <04219>. He <02438> finished <03615> all <03605> the work <04399> on the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004> he had been assigned <06213> by King <04428> Solomon <08010>.
41He made the two <08147> pillars <05982>, the two <08147> bowl-shaped <01543> tops <03805> of the pillars <05982>, the latticework <07639> for the bowl-shaped <01543> tops <03805> of the two pillars <05982>,
42the four <0702> hundred <03967> pomegranate-shaped <07416> ornaments for the latticework <07639> of the two <08147> pillars (each <0259> latticework <07639> had two <08147> rows <02905> of these ornaments at <05921> the bowl-shaped <01543> top <06440> of the pillar <05982>),
43the ten <06235> movable stands <04350> with their ten <06235> basins <03595>,
44the big bronze basin <03220> called “The Sea <03220>” with its twelve <06240> <08147> bulls <01241> underneath <08478>,
45and the pots <05518>, shovels <03257>, and bowls <04219>. All <03605> these <0428> items <03627> King <04428> Solomon <08010> assigned Hiram <02438> to make <06213> for the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004> were made from polished <04803> bronze <05178>.
46The king <04428> had them cast <03332> in earth <0127> foundries <04568> in the region <03603> of the Jordan <03383> between <0996> Succoth <05523> and <0996> Zarethan <06891>.
47Solomon <08010> left <03240> all <03605> these items <03627> unweighed <07230>; there were so <03966> many of them they did not <03808> weigh <04948> <02713> the bronze <05178>.
48Solomon <08010> also made <06213> all <03605> these items <03627> for <0834> the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004>: the gold <02091> altar <04196>, the gold <02091> table <07979> on which <0834> was kept the Bread <03899> of the Presence <06440>,
49the pure <05462> gold <02091> lampstands <04501> at the entrance <06440> to the inner sanctuary <01687> (five <02568> on the right <03225> and five <02568> on the left <08040>), the gold <02091> flower-shaped <06525> ornaments, lamps <05216>, and tongs <04457>,
50the pure <05462> gold bowls <05592>, trimming <04212> shears, basins <04219>, pans <03709>, and censers <04289>, and the gold <02091> <02091> door <01817> sockets <06596> for the inner <06442> sanctuary <06944> (the most holy <06944> place) and for the doors <01817> of the main hall <01964> of the temple <01004>.
51When King <04428> Solomon <08010> finished <07999> constructing <06213> <04399> the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004>, he <08010> put <0935> the holy <06944> items that belonged to his father <01> David <01732> (the <0853> silver <03701>, gold <02091>, and other articles <03627>) in the treasuries <0214> of the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004>.
