13. King Solomon sent messengers to Tyre. He wanted them to bring Huram back with them.

14. Huram's mother was a widow. She was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram's father was from Tyre. He was skilled in working with bronze. Huram also was very skilled. He had done all kinds of work with bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all of the work he was asked to do.

15. Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 27 feet high. And each was 18 feet around.

16. Each pillar had a decorated top that was made out of bronze. Each top was seven and a half feet high.

17. Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top.
