1 Kings 7:13–22

¹³Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram^g from Tyre. ¹⁴He 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.

¹⁵He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.^{h 16}He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.^{i 17}For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.^j

¹⁸Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars. ¹⁹And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.^{k 20}On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.

²¹Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin,^l and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.^{m 22}And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
