Above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
12
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 the LORD, and the porch of the house.

King Shlomo sent and fetched Hiram out of Tzor.
14
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naftali, and his father was a man of Tzor, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Shlomo, and performed all his work.
15
For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.
16
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.
17
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.
18
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.
19
The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.
20
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.
21
He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name of it Yakhin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name of it Bo`az.
