Bible verse
He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
1 Kings 7:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 7.
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.
18 Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
19 And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
