1 Kings 7:13 In-Context

11 On top of them were other stones, cut to measure, and cedar beams.

12 The palace court, the inner court of the Temple, and the entrance room of the Temple had walls with one layer of cedar beams for every three layers of cut stones.

13 King Solomon sent for a man named Huram, a craftsman living in the city of Tyre, who was skilled in bronze work.

14 His father, who was no longer living, was from Tyre, and had also been a skilled bronze craftsman; his mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was an intelligent and experienced craftsman. He accepted King Solomon's invitation to be in charge of all the bronze work.

15 Huram cast two bronze columns, each one 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference, and placed them at the entrance of the Temple.
