καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Χειρὰμ ἐκ Τύρου, ¹

υἰὸν γυναικὸς χήρας, καὶ οὖτος ἀπὸ τῆς φθυλῆς Νεφθαλεί, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Τύριος, τέκτων χαλκοῦ καὶ πεπληρωμένος τῆς τέχνης καὶ συνέσεως καὶ γνώσεως τοῦ ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον ἐν χαλκῷ. καὶ εἰσηνέχθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμών, καὶ ἐποίησεν ²
πάντα τὰ ἔργα.

καὶ ἐχώνευσεν τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦ οἴκου, ὀκτὼ καὶ δέκα πήχεις ὔψος τοῦ στύλου. καὶ περίμετρον τέσσαρες καὶ δέκα πήχεις ἐκύκλου αὐτόν,τὸ πάχος τοῦ στύλου. τεσσάρων δακτύλων δακτύλων τὰ ³
κοιλώματα. καὶ οὕτως στύλος ὁ δεύτερος.

καὶ δύο ἐπιθέματα ἐποίησεν, δοῦναι ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν στύλων, χωνευτά. πέντε ⁴
πήδχεις τὸ ὕψος τοῦ ἐπιθέματος τοῦ ἑνός.

καὶ ἐποίησεν δύο δίκτυα περικαλύψαι τὸ ἐπίθεμα τῶν στύλων, καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ⁵
ἐπιθέματι τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ δίκτυον τῷ ἐπιθέματι τῷ δυτέρῳ.

καὶ ἔργον κρεμαστόν, δύο στίχοι ῥοῶν χαλκῶν δεδικτυωμένοι, ἔργον κρεμαστόν, στίχος ἐπὶ στίχον. καὶ οὕτως τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῷ ἐπιθέματι ⁶
τῷ δευτέρῳ.

καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους τοῦ αἰλὰμ τοῦ ναοῦ. καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στύλον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰαχούμ, καὶ ἔστησεν τὸν στύλον τὸν δεύτερον καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν ⁷
τὸ ὅνομα αὐτοῦ Βάλαζ.

καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν καφαλῶν τῶν στύλων ⁸
ἔγρον κρίνου κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τεσσάρων πηχῶν.

καὶ μέλαθρον ⁹¹⁰ ἐπ’ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν στύλων, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπίθεμα τό μέλαθρον τῷ πήχει.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὴν θάλασσαν δέκα ἐν
¹¹ πήχει ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς, στρογγύλον κύκλῳ τὸ αὐτό· πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ συνηγμένοι τρεῖς καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πήχει.

καὶ ὑποστηρίγματα ὑποκάτωθεν
¹² τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς κυκλόθεν ἐκύκλουν αὐτὴν δέκα ἐν πήχει κυκλόθεν·

καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς ἔργον χείλους ποτηρίου, βλαστὸς
¹³ κρίνου, καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ παλαιστής.

καὶ δώδεκα βόες ὑποκάτω
¹⁴ τῆς θαλάσσης, οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες βορρᾶν, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες θάλασσαν, καἰ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες νότον, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἐπιβλέποντες ἀνατολήν. καὶ πάντα τὰ ὀπίσθια εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπ’ αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν.

καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα
¹⁵ μεχωνὼθ χαλκᾶς· πέντε πήχεις μῆκος τῆς μεχωνὼθ τῆς μιᾶς, καὶ τέσσαρες πήχεις πλάτος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἓξ ἐν πήχει ὕψος αὐτῆς.

καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔργον τῶν μεχωνώθ. συνκλειστὸν αὐτοῖς, καὶ
¹⁶ συνκλειστὸν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἐξεχομένων.

καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ συνκλείσματα
¹⁷ αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον ἐξεχομένων λέοντες καὶ βόες καὶ χερουβείν· καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐξεχομένων οὕτως καὶ ἐπάνωθεν, καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν λεόντων καὶ τῶν βοῶν χῶραι, ἔργον καταβάσεως.

καὶ τέσσαρες τροχοὶ χαλκοῖ τῇ μεχωνὼθ τῇ μιᾷ, καὶ τὰ προςέχοντα
¹⁸ χαλκᾶ καὶ τέσσερα μέρη αὐτῶν, ὡμίαι ὑποκάτω τῶν λουτήρων.

καὶ χεῖρες ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς ἐν τῷ μεχωνώθ· καὶ τὸ
¹⁹ ὕψος τοῦ τροχοῦ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεος καὶ ἡμίσους.

καὶ τὸ ἔργον
²⁰ τῶν τροχῶν ἔροχῶν ἅρματος· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ νῶτοι ²¹²²²³
αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ πραγματεία αὐτῶν πάντα χωνευτά.

αἱ τέσσαρες Β ἀμίαι ἐπὶ τῶν τεσςάρων γωνιῶν τῆς μεχωνὼρ τῇ μιᾷ, ἐκ τῆς ²⁴
μεχωνὼθ οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῆς· ἀυτῆς·

αὐτῆς· καὶ ἠνοίγετο ἐπὶ τέσσαρας ἀρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς.

καὶ τὰ συγκλείσματα αὐτῆς χερουβεὶν καὶ λέοντες καὶ φοίνικες ἑστῶτα, ²⁶
ἐχόμενον ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔσω καὶ τὰ κυκλόθεν.

κατ’ αὐτὴν ἐποίησεν πάσας τὰς δέκα μεχωνώθ, τάξιν μίαν καὶ μέτρον ²⁷
ἕν πάσαις.

καὶ ἐποίησεν δέκα χυτροκαύλους χαλκοῦς, τεσσεράκοντα χοεῖς χωροῦντας τὸν χυτρόκαυλον τὸν ἔνα μετρήσει· ὁ χυτρόκαυλος ὁ εἷς ἐπὶ τῇ μεχωνὼθ τῇ μιᾷ, ταῖς δέκα μεχωνώθ. ²⁸

καὶ ἔθετο τὰς πέντε μεχωνὼθ ἀπὸ τῆς ὠμίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν ²⁹
κατ’ ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ νότου.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Χειρὰμ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς θερμάστρεις καὶ τὰς φιάλας· καὶ συνετέλεσεν χειρὰμ ποιῶν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἅ ἐποίησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ³⁰
ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

στύλους δύο καὶ τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν στύλων ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο· καὶ τὰ δίκτυα δύο τοῦ καλύπτειν ἀμφότερα τὰ στρεπτὰ τῶν γλυφῶν τὰ ὄντα ἐπὶ τῶν στύλων· ³¹

χαλκᾶ ἄρδην,

οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ οὗ ἐποίησεν πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ἐκ πλήους σφόδρα· οὐκ ἦν τέρμα τῶν σταθμῶν ³⁶ τοῦ χαλκοῦ.

ἐν τῷ περιοίκῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ
³⁷ ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς, ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σειρά.

καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν τὰ σκεύη ἅ ἐποίησεν ἐν οἴκῳ, τὸ

⁴¹ Κυρίου· καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Σαλωμὼν τὰ ἅγια Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅγια Σαλωμών, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἔδωκεν εἰς τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου Κυρίου.

Καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτῷ

ἔλαβεν Σαλωμὼν κατὰ τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦτο.

πάντα ταῦτα ἐκ λίθων τιμίων κεκολαμμένα ἐκ διαστήματος ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θεμελίου ⁵⁴
ἕως τῶν γειςῶν· καὶ ἔξωθεν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην

I Kings Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 7 focus

Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length of it was one hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.

There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.

All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.

He made the porch of pillars; the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

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.

His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.

All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, 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.

The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

Above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.

The great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.

King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

He was the son of a widow 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 skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.

For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.

He made two capitals of molten brass, 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.

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.

So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital.

The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.

There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about on the other capital.

He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it Boaz.

On the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

Under the brim of it round about there were buds which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

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 hinder parts were inward.

It was a handbreadth thick: and the brim of it was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.

The work of the bases was on this manner: 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.

Every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on the mouth of it were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and 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, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.

There were four supports at the four corners of each base: the supports of it were of the base itself.

In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays of it and the panels of it were of the same.

On the plates of the stays of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on very one of the ten bases one basin.

He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Yahweh:

the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

and 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;

and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;

and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.

In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;

and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and 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, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.

Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
