1 Kings 7:13 In-Context

11 On top of these foundation stones were other blocks of fine stone and cedar beams.

12 The palace courtyard, the courtyard inside the Temple, and the porch of the Temple were surrounded by walls. All of these walls had three rows of stone blocks and one row of cedar beams.

13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and had Huram brought to him.

14 Huram's mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali. His father was from Tyre and had been skilled in making things from bronze. Huram was also very skilled and experienced in bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all the bronze work.

15 He made two bronze pillars, each one twenty-seven feet tall and eighteen feet around.
