¹ ¶ But Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and he finished all his house. ² He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon, which was one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. ³ And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. ⁴ And there were windows in three orders, one against another in three orders. ⁵ And all the doors and posts were square, with some windows opposite the other windows in three orders. ⁶ And he made a porch of pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and the porch was before those others, with its corresponding pillars and thick beams. ⁷ Then he made a porch for the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. ⁸ And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of like work. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. ⁹ All these works were of costly stones, cut and sawed with saws according to the measurements, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court. ¹⁰ And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. ¹¹ And above were also costly stones, hewed according to their measurements, and work of cedar. ¹² And the great court round about had three orders of hewed stones and an order of cedar beams, and likewise the inner court of the house of the LORD and the porch of the house. ¹³ ¶ And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre, ¹⁴ who was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been of Tyre. A worker in brass, full of wisdom and intelligence and knowledge in all work of brass. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work. ¹⁵ He made two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece, and a line of twelve cubits did compass each of them about. ¹⁶ And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits. ¹⁷ And nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the chapiters which were to be placed upon the top of the pillars, seven for the one chapiter and seven for the other chapiter. ¹⁸ And when he had made the pillars, he also made two orders of pomegranates round about upon the network to cover the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars with the pomegranates, and so did he for the other chapiter. ¹⁹ And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were in the form of lilies like those seen in the porch, for four cubits. ²⁰ And the chapiters upon the two pillars had two hundred pomegranates in two orders round about in each chapiter, on top of the belly of the chapiter, this belly being in front of the network. ²¹ And he stood up the pillars in the porch of the temple. And when he had set up the right pillar, he called the name of it Jachin; {Heb. The LORD establishes}; and in standing up the left pillar, he called its name Boaz. {Heb. Only in Him is there strength} ²² And upon the top of the pillars was lily work, and so the work of the pillars was finished. ²³ Likewise, he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other; it was perfectly round, and its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. ²⁴ And under the brim of it round about there were knops like gourds compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about in two orders, which were made when it was cast. ²⁵ It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north and three looking toward the west and three looking toward the Negev and three looking toward the east; and upon them the sea rested, and all their hinder parts were inward. ²⁶ And it was a hand breadth thick, and its lip was made like the lip of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths. ²⁷ He also made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of each base and four cubits the width and three cubits the height. ²⁸ And the work of the bases was like this: they had borders, and the borders were between mouldings; ²⁹ and upon the borders that were between the mouldings were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the mouldings of the base, above and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of bevelled work. ³⁰ And each base had four brasen wheels and cardinals {hinged axles} of brass, and in its four corners it had shoulderpieces, which were molten at the side of each addition, to be under the laver. ³¹ Its mouth entered into the chapiter (in the joint that came out of the base) one cubit above, and its mouth was rounded like the workmanship (of the same joint) in the base, of a cubit and a half. There were also engravings upon the mouth of it with their borders, which were square, not round. ³² And under the borders were the four wheels, and the axletrees of the wheels came forth from the same base. The height of each wheel was one and a half cubits. ³³ And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel, their axletrees and their rims and their spokes and their hubs were all molten. ³⁴ Likewise, the four shoulderpieces to the four corners of each base, and the shoulderpieces were of the very base itself. ³⁵ And in the top of the base there was a rounded compass of half a cubit high and on the top of the base, its mouldings and borders which were part of it. ³⁶ For on the tables of the mouldings and on the borders thereof, he made cherubim, lions, and palm trees, in front of the additions of each one round about. ³⁷ After this manner he made ten bases cast in the same manner, of the same size and of the same shape. ³⁸ Then he also made ten lavers of brass; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver measured four cubits; and he set a laver upon each one of the ten bases. ³⁹ And he put five bases on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house, and he set the sea on the right side of the house to the east towards the Negev. ⁴⁰ Hiram made the lavers and the shovels and the basins likewise. So Hiram finished all the work that he made King Solomon for the house of the LORD: ⁴¹ That is, the two pillars and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the head of the pillars, ⁴² and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two orders of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the heads of the pillars, ⁴³ and the ten bases and ten lavers upon the bases, ⁴⁴ and one sea and twelve oxen under the sea, ⁴⁵ and the pots and the shovels and the basins and all the other vessels, which Hiram made to King Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. ⁴⁶ And the king caused them all to be cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. ⁴⁷ And Solomon did not inquire the weight of the brass of all the vessels because they were exceeding many. ⁴⁸ ¶ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: an altar of gold, and a table upon which the showbread was, also of gold, ⁴⁹ and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right hand, and five on the left, in front of the oracle, with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold, ⁵⁰ likewise the bowls and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censers of pure gold, also the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple. ⁵¹ So all the work that King Solomon made for the house of the LORD was complete. And Solomon brought in the things which David, his father, had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and the vessels, and he kept it all in the treasury of the house of the LORD.

²⁹ Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels and all the instruments of the sanctuary and the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.

⁶ And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

¹ ¶ The sons of Aaron also had their courses. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ² But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children; therefore, Eleazar and Ithamar had the priesthood. ³ And David distributed them, Zadok being of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their turns in their ministry. ⁴ And there were more men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar, there were sixteen chief men of the houses of their fathers and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the houses of their fathers. ⁵ They divided them, therefore, by lot, one with another for of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God. ⁶ And Shemaiah, the scribe, the son of Nethaneel, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king and the princes and before Zadok, the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers of the priests and Levites; one paternal house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar. ⁷ Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, ⁸ the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, ⁹ the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, ¹⁰ the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, ¹¹ the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, ¹² the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, ¹³ the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, ¹⁴ the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, ¹⁵ the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, ¹⁶ the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, ¹⁷ the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, ¹⁸ the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. ¹⁹ These were their orderings in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their right, in the ministry of Aaron, their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

¹ ¶ Moreover David and the captains of the host separated unto the ministry the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals; and the number of men that were suitable for the work of their respective ministry was, ² of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the hand of the king. ³ Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hand of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD. ⁴ Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. ⁵ All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s seer, in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶ All these were under the direction of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the ministry of the house of God, under the hand of the king, of Asaph, of Jeduthun, and of Heman. ⁷ So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that had understanding, was two hundred eighty-eight. ⁸ ¶ And they cast lots, ward against ward, the small as well as the great, the one with understanding as well as the disciple. ⁹ Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve; ¹⁰ the third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹¹ the fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹² the fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹³ the sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁴ the seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁵ the eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁶ the ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁷ the tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁸ the eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ¹⁹ the twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁰ the thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²¹ the fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²² the fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²³ the sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁴ the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁵ the eighteenth to Hanani, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁶ the nineteenth to Mallothi, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve: ²⁷ the twentieth to Eliathah, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁸ the twenty-first to Hothir, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ²⁹ the twenty-second to Giddalti, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ³⁰ the twenty-third to Mahazioth, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve; ³¹ the twenty-fourth to Romamtiezer, he, his sons, and his brethren were twelve.

²⁵ and weighed unto them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes and all those that were of Israel had offered. ²⁶ I weighed, therefore, unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver and silver vessels of one hundred talents and of gold one hundred talents; ²⁷ also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams, and two vessels of clean brass, precious as gold. ²⁸ And I said unto them, Ye are holiness unto the LORD; the vessels are holiness also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers. ²⁹ Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the princes of the priests and the Levites and of the princes of the fathers of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD. ³⁰ The priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and of the gold and of the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

³³ Now on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, Levites;
