Read in context

1 Kings 7:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
