1 Kings 7:6 (KJV)
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
[FONT="]Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.[/FONT]
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
[FONT="]And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the [/FONT][FONT="]Lord[/FONT][FONT="], and for the porch of the house.

[FONT="]He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.[/FONT]
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
[h=1](1 Kings 7:19): ... New American Standard Bible (NASB)[/h]19 The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.
[h=1](1 Kings 7:20): ... New American Standard Bible (NASB)[/h]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.
[FONT="]He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin[/FONT][FONT="] and the one to the north Boaz.[/FONT]
[FONT="]And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.[/FONT]
