Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 1Ki 9:102Ch 8:1Ecc 2:4-5Mat 6:331Ki 3:1 For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, 1 its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars. 1Ki 10:172Ch 9:161Ki 10:211Ki 9:19Sng 7:4 It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row. 1Ki 6:5 There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks. 1Ki 6:41Ki 7:5Ezk 40:16Ezk 40:22Ezk 40:25Ezk 40:29Ezk 40:33Ezk 40:36 All the doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks. He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them. 1Ki 7:12Ezk 41:25-26 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. Pro 20:8Psa 122:51Ki 3:28Isa 9:71Ki 10:18-201Ki 3:91Ki 6:15-161Ki 6:3 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch. 2Ch 8:111Ki 3:11Ki 9:242Ki 20:4 All these were of costly stones, even of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court. 1Ki 5:171Ki 7:10-11 The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. Rev 21:19-201Co 3:10-11Isa 28:16Isa 54:11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood. 1Pe 2:5Eph 2:20-22 The great court around had three courses of cut stone with a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the LORD’s house and the porch of the house. 1Ki 6:361Ki 7:6Act 3:11Act 5:12Jhn 10:23
King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre. 2Ch 4:111Ki 7:402Ch 2:13-14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed all his work. 2Ch 2:142Ch 4:16Exo 31:2-62Ch 4:11Exo 35:30Exo 36:8Isa 28:26 For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them. Jer 52:211Ki 7:212Ch 3:15-171Ki 7:412Ch 4:12-222Ki 25:16-17Jer 52:13 He made two capitals of molten 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. 2Ch 4:12-13Exo 36:38Exo 38:17Exo 38:19Exo 38:28 There were nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital. 2Ki 25:17Exo 28:14Exo 28:22Exo 28:24-25Exo 39:15-18 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows of pomegranates around the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital. 2Ki 25:17Exo 28:14Exo 28:22Exo 28:24-25Exo 39:15-18 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits. 1Ki 6:181Ki 6:32-351Ki 7:22 There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other capital. 2Ch 3:162Ch 4:131Ki 7:422Ki 25:17Jer 52:22-23 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz. 2Ch 3:171Ki 6:31Ki 7:122Sa 7:12Ezk 40:48-49Gal 2:9Isa 45:24Isa 9:7 On the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.
He made the molten sea ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it. 2Ch 4:22Ki 25:13Jer 52:171Ch 18:8Exo 30:18-21Exo 38:8Jer 52:202Ki 16:17 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast. 1Ki 6:182Ch 4:3Exo 25:31-36Exo 37:17-22 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward. Jer 52:202Ch 4:4-51Co 9:9Ezk 1:10Luk 24:47Mat 28:19Mrk 16:15-16Rev 4:6-7 It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths. 2Ch 4:51Ki 6:181Ki 6:321Ki 6:351Ki 7:191Ki 7:38Ezk 45:14Jer 52:21
He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height. 2Ch 4:142Ki 25:13Jer 52:171Ki 7:382Ki 25:16Jer 52:20 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges; and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. 1Ki 6:271Ki 7:251Pe 2:5Exo 25:18Exo 37:7Ezk 1:10Ezk 10:14Ezk 41:18-19 Every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each. Ezk 1:15-21Ezk 10:10-13Ezk 3:13 Its opening within the capital and above was a cubit. Its opening was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast metal. Ezk 1:16Ezk 1:18 There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of the base itself. In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same. On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around. 1Ki 7:291Ki 6:291Ki 6:321Ki 6:35Ezk 40:31Ezk 40:37Ezk 41:18-20Ezk 41:25-26 He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form. He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. 2 Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases. 1Jn 1:72Ch 4:6-22Exo 30:17-21Exo 30:28Exo 38:8Exo 40:11-12Heb 10:22Heb 9:10 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south. 2Ch 4:102Ch 4:6
Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for King Solomon in the LORD’s house: 2Ch 4:11-161Ki 7:282Ch 4:82Ki 25:14-15Exo 24:6Exo 39:32-43Jer 52:18-19 the two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 1Ki 7:15-222Ch 4:12 the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars; 1Ki 7:20 the ten bases; the ten basins on the bases; the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea; 1Ki 7:231Ki 7:25 the pots; the shovels; and the basins. All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the LORD’s house, were of burnished bronze. Exo 27:32Ch 4:16Exo 38:31Sa 2:13-14Ezk 46:20-24Lev 8:31Zec 14:21 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Jos 3:162Ch 4:17Gen 33:17Jos 13:271Ki 4:12 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the bronze could not be determined. 1Ch 22:141Ch 22:31Ch 22:162Ch 4:18
Solomon made all the vessels that were in the LORD’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold; 2Ch 4:8Exo 37:10-16Exo 39:361Co 10:212Ch 4:19Exo 25:23-30Exo 30:1-5Exo 37:25-29 and the lamp stands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 2Ch 4:72Ch 4:20Exo 25:31-40Exo 37:17-24Exo 39:37Exo 40:24-25Mat 5:14-16Num 4:9 the cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold. 2Ch 4:21-22Exo 25:29Exo 27:3Lev 16:12Num 7:86
Thus all the work that King Solomon did in the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of the LORD’s house. 2Ch 5:12Sa 8:7-111Ch 18:10-111Ch 18:7-81Ch 26:26-281Ch 28:11-181Ch 29:2-8Exo 40:33
