1 Kings 7:13

9 All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.

10 The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.

11 Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.

12 The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.

13 Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.

14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.

15 He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.

16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.

17 For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
