10 The foundation was of large, costly stones, stones of ten and eight cubits in size.
11 Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.
12 The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of the Lord and the porch of the house.
13 Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.
14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
15 He cast two pillars of bronze eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 He made two capitals of cast 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.
