1 Kings 7:13 In-Context

11 And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars.

12 And the great court around [was] with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

13 And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.

14 He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and ingenious to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

15 For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did encompass each of them.
