11. And above were costly stones hewn according to measure, and cedar timbers.
12. Also the great encircling court had three courses of hewn stone and a course of cedar beams, like was around the inner court of the house of the Lord and the porch of the house.
13. King Solomon brought Hiram from Tyre.
14. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. He was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill to do any kind of work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and did all his [bronze] work.
15. He fashioned the two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference.
16. He made two capitals of molten bronze to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of each capital was five cubits.
17. Nets of checkerwork and wreaths of chainwork for the capitals were on the tops of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18. So Hiram made the pillars. There were two rows of pomegranates encircling each network to cover the capitals that were upon the top.
19. The capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work [design], four cubits.
