- the foundation (KJV): Isa 28:16 54:11 1Co 3:10,11 Rev 21:19,20
- stones of ten cubits (KJV): Reckoning the cubit at 21 inches, the ten cubits are 17 feet and a half, and the eight cubits are 14 feet. The magnitude of these stones was certainly extraordinary; but let us hear M. Volney, and our surprise will no longer be fixed on these stones, but transferred from Solomon's house to the ruins of Balbec: "What is still more astonishing is the enormous stones which compose the sloping wall. To the west, the second layer is formed of stones which are from 28 to 35 feet long, by about 9 in height. Over this layer, at the north-west angle, there are three stones, which alone occupy a space of 175 feet and a half; viz. the first, 58 feet 7 inches; the second, 58 feet 11 inches; and the third, exactly 58 feet; and each of these is 12 feet thick. These stones are of white granite, with large shining flakes, like gypsum: there is a quarry of this kind of stone under the whole city, and another in the adjacent mountains, which is open in several places. On the right, as we approach the city, there is still lying there a stone hewn on three sides, which is 69 feet 2 inches long, 12 feet 10 inches broad, and 13 feet 3 inches in thickness.
The foundation was of costly stones, even large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

1 Kings 7:13 Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.
- Hiram (KJV): 1Ki 7:40 2Ch 2:13 4:11, Huram
Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.
1 Kings 7:14 He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
- a widow's son (KJV): Heb. the son of a widow woman
- tribe (KJV): The mother of Hiram (not the Tyrian king mentioned before, but an intelligent coppersmith, of Jewish extraction by his mother's side) in Chronicles, is said to have been of "the daughters of Dan;" and she might have been of Naphtali by her father, and of Dan by her mother; or she might originally be of the tribe of Dan, and have been first married to a man of the tribe of Naphtali; and, in either case, she might be indifferently called "of the tribe of Naphtali," or of "the daughters of Dan."
- Naphtali (KJV): 2Ch 2:14
- his father (KJV): 2Ch 4:16
- he was filled (KJV): Ex 31:2-6 35:30-35 36:1,2,8 Isa 28:26
He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
1 Kings 7:15 He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.
cast (KJV): Heb. fashioned
two pillars (KJV): 1Ki 7:21 2Ki 25:16,17 2Ch 3:15-17 4:12-22 Jer 52:21-13
eighteen cubits (KJV): That is, nearly thirty feet, English measure. But in the parallel place in Chronicles, these pillars are said to thirty-five cubits high. Tremellius reconciles this difference by observing, that the common cubit was but one-half of the cubit of the sanctuary; so that eighteen of the one would make thirty-six of the other; from which, if we deduct one cubit for the base, there will remain thirty-five. Notwithstanding the names of these pillars, they seem to have supported no part of the building, and appear to have been formed for ornament; and were no doubt also emblematical. The right pillar was called {Jachin,} which signifies, "He will establish;" while that on the left was named {Boaz,} "In it is strength." Some think they were intended for memorials of the pillars and cloud of fire, which led Israel through the wilderness; but Henry supposes them designed for memorandums to the priests and others that came to worship at God's door. 1st. To depend upon God only, and not upon any sufficiency of their own, for strength and establishment in all their religious exercises. 2nd. It was a memorandum to them of the strength and establishment of the temple of God among them. When the temple was destroyed, particular notice is taken of the breaking up and carrying away of these brazen pillars, 2 Ki 25:13, 17, which had been the tokens of its establishment, and would have been still so, if they had not forsaken God.
He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits (27 feet) was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits (18 feet) measured the circumference of both.
1 Kings 7:16 He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
- Ex 36:38 38:17,19,28 2Ch 4:12,13
He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
1 Kings 7:17 There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.
- Ex 28:14,22,24,25 39:15-18 2Ki 25:17
There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.
1 Kings 7:18 So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.
- Ex 28:14,22,24,25 39:15-18 2Ki 25:17

- lily work (KJV): 1Ki 7:22 6:18,32-35
The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.
1 Kings 7:20 There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.
- and the pomegranates (KJV): 2Ki 25:17 2Ch 3:16 4:13 Jer 52:22,23
There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.
1 Kings 7:21 Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.
- And he set (KJV): 2Ch 3:17 Ga 2:9 Rev 3:12
- the porch (KJV): 1Ki 7:12 6:3 Eze 40:48,49

Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.
1 Kings 7:22 On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.
1 Kings 7:23 Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.
- he made (KJV): Ex 30:18-21 38:8
- a molten sea (KJV): 2Ki 25:13 2Ch 4:2 Jer 52:17,20
- the one brim to the other (KJV): Heb. his brim to his brim
Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.
Henry Morris - thirty cubits. Critics who try to find scientific "mistakes" in Scripture nearly always settle on this verse as one of their prime examples. Solomon's sea, ten cubits in diameter, had a circumference of thirty cubits, supposedly showing that the writer thought the value of p, or "pi," (the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter) was exactly 3.0, instead of 3.1416. The critics do not understand the principle--always applied in careful scientific calculations--of "significant figures." The dimensions as given were not intended as precisely 10 or 30, but were obviously round numbers. To say the diameter was 10 means only that it was somewhere between 9.5 and 10.5. Similarly, the circumference was somewhere between 29.5 and 30.5. Thus the implied value of p was somewhere between 29.5/10.5 and 30.5/9.5--that is, between 2.81 and 3.21. The precise value of p is clearly within this range, and it would have been incorrect to try to specify a more precise value.
BSB - The "Sea of cast bronze" was located in the inner court area of the temple. It was a high basin or laver, 15 feet from brim to brim (internal measurement) and 45 feet in circumference. The basin stood upon twelve oxen, three on every side (v. 25). This large water supply was used for the washing of the priests as they ministered at the altar or went into the temple (2 Chr. 4:6). The great "Sea" took the place of the laver at the tabernacle. Cf. 2 Chr. 4:2, note.
1 Kings 7:24 Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.
- knops (KJV): 1Ki 6:18 Ex 25:31-36 37:17-22
- compassing the sea (KJV): 2Ch 4:3
Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.
1 Kings 7:25 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.
- 2Ch 4:4,5 Jer 52:20 Eze 1:10 Mt 28:19 Mk 16:15,16 Lu 24:47 1Co 9:9 Rev 4:6,7
It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.
1 Kings 7:26 It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.
- an hand breadth (KJV): Jer 52:21
- with flowers (KJV): 1Ki 7:19 6:18,32,35
- it contained (KJV): This immense laver, called a sea from it magnitude, held, at a moderate computation, 16,000 gallons. Besides this great brazen laver, there were in the temple ten lavers of brass of a less size, which moved on wheels, and were ornamented with the figures of various animals, having, probably, always some relation to the cherubim. These lavers were to hold water for the use of the priests in their sacred office, particularly to wash the victims that were to be offered as a burnt offering, as we learn from 2 Ch 4:6; but the brazen sea was for the priests to wash in. The knops are supposed to have been in the form of an ox's head, (2 Ch 4:3;) and some think the water flowed out at their mouths.
- two thousand (KJV): 1Ki 7:38 2Ch 4:5 Eze 45:14
It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.
1 Kings 7:27 Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits.
- ten bases (KJV): These highly ornamental bases appear to have been square stands, or immense pedestals, for the purpose of supporting the lavers. 2Ki 25:13,16 2Ch 4:14 Jer 52:17,20
Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits.
1 Kings 7:28 This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames,
- bases was on (KJV): It seems evident that these bases or pedestals rose with steps, and that the ornaments mentioned in the next verse appeared in front, forming so many entablatures. But the description of these bases is very difficult to comprehend: many of the original words are seldom, if at all, used elsewhere; and it would be impossible to give an explanation of each particular, without a labour and prolixity disproportioned to its importance to us. 1Ki 7:28
This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames,
1 Kings 7:29 and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
- lions (KJV): 1Ki 7:25 6:27 Eze 1:10 10:14 41:18,19 Ho 5:14 Rev 4:6,7 5:5
- cherubims (KJV): Ge 3:24 Ex 25:18 37:7 Heb 9:5
- certain additions (KJV): 1Pe 2:5
and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
1 Kings 7:30 Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.
- wheels (KJV): Eze 1:15-21 3:13 10:10-13
- had undersetters (KJV): It is probable that these undersetters were so many strong legs, somewhat shorter than the wheels, and were intended to prevent the laver from tilting, or falling, in case of any accident.
Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.
1 Kings 7:31 Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.
Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

- joined to the base (KJV): Heb. in the base, 1Ki 7:32
The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
1 Kings 7:33 The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.
- Eze 1:16,18
The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.
1 Kings 7:36 He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.
- graved cherubims (KJV): 1Ki 7:29 6:29,32,35 Eze 40:31,37 41:18-20,25,26
- proportion (KJV): Heb. nakedness
He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

1 Kings 7:38 He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.
- ten lavers (KJV): Ex 30:17-21,28 38:8 40:11,12 2Ch 4:6-22 Zec 13:1 Heb 9:10 Heb 10:22 1Jn 1:7 Rev 7:14
He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.
In addition to the "Sea of cast bronze," there were ten small lavers, five on each side of the altar, for washing the entrails and other parts of the sacrificial animals.
1 Kings 7:39 Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.
- he set (KJV): 2Ch 4:6,10
Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

- the clay ground (KJV): Heb. the thickness of the ground
- Succoth (KJV): Ge 33:17
- Zarthan (KJV): Zarthan is supposed to have been situated in the tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan, near Jezreel and Bethshan or Scythopolis, and not far from the Jordan. Succoth we know was situated east of Jordan, in the tribe of Gad, and according to Jerome, in the district of Scythopolis: hence the "plain of Jordan," where Hiram cast the brazen vessels, must be the plain in which that river runs, Zarthan and Succoth being probably nearly opposite each other; but whether the precise spot of his operations was on this side or the other side, is uncertain. In this place he found that particular clay that was proper for his purpose; and it being a considerable distance from Jerusalem, that city would not be annoyed by the smoke and noxious vapours necessarily occasioned by the process. 1Ki 4:12, Zartanah, Jos 3:16, Zaretan, 2Ch 4:17, Zeredathah
In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
1 Kings 7:47 Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.
- because they were exceeding many (KJV): Heb. for the exceeding multitude, 2Ch 4:18
