1 Kings 7

Gen Z: 1 Kings 7

1Solomon was building his crib for thirteen years, and he totally finished it.

2He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon; it was a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits tall, all on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on top.

3It was decked out with cedar on the beams, chillin’ on forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

4There were windows in three rows, and light was vibing with light in three layers.

5All the doors and posts were square, with the windows: light was vibing with light in three layers.

6He made a dope porch of pillars; it was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide: and the porch was right in front of them, with other pillars and a thick beam chillin’ there too.

7Then he built a porch for the throne where he could judge, the porch of judgment: it was all covered with cedar from one side to the other.

8His house where he lived had another court inside the porch, which was just like this porch. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he married, just like this porch.

9All these were made of pricey stones, cut to size, sawed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the top, and on the outside towards the big court.

10And the foundation was made of those expensive stones, like really big stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11Up top were some fancy stones, all cut and polished, plus cedar vibes.

12The big court had three layers of those cut stones and a row of cedar beams, all for the Lord’s house and the porch—totally lit.

13King Solomon hit up Hiram from Tyre, no cap.

14Dude was a widow's kid from Naphtali, and his pops was a brass pro from Tyre. He was mad wise and crafty with the brass work. Solomon was like, "Come through."

15He threw down two brass pillars, each 18 cubits tall, and wrapped 'em with a 12 cubit line.

16Made two brass tops for the pillars, each five cubits high—straight fire.

17He crafted nets with a checker vibe and chains for the tops of the pillars; seven for one and seven for the other—bussin'.

18He decked out the pillars with two rows around each network, covering the tops with pomegranates—so extra.

19The tops of the pillars had lily designs in the porch, standing at four cubits—real aesthetic.

20The tops on both pillars also had pomegranates chillin' above, all around the network, with 200 pomegranates in rows on the other top—pure rizz.

21He set up the pillars at the temple entrance: the right one’s called Jachin and the left one’s Boaz. Major vibes.

22The tops of the pillars had some lit lily designs: and that's a wrap on the pillar work.

23He crafted this sick molten sea, ten cubits across, round like a vibe, and five cubits high: it was a whole mood.

24Around the brim were ten knobs, all around it: they were cast in two rows, real aesthetic.

25It was chillin' on twelve oxen, three facing each direction: north, west, south, and east; the sea was above them, and their backs were hidden.

26It was thick like a hand’s breadth, and the brim was styled like a cup, with lily vibes: it held two thousand baths.

27He made ten brass bases; each one was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits tall.

28The bases had some sick borders, and the borders were between the ledges: real clean.

29On the borders between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and above the ledges was a base, with some cool designs beneath the lions and oxen.

30Each base had four brass wheels and brass plates: the corners had supports, and beneath the laver were molten supports, all on point.

31The mouth of it was a whole cubit inside, but the outside was round like the base, a cubit and a half, with some dope engravings around the edges, square vibes, not round.

32Under the edges, there were four wheels, and they were all connected to the base, with each wheel being a cubit and a half tall, no cap.

33The wheels were lit, just like chariot wheels, with their axles, hubs, rims, and spokes all melted together, pure rizz.

34There were four supports at the corners of one base, and they were part of the base itself, fr.

35On top of the base, there was a round compass half a cubit high, and the ledges and borders were all matching, periodt.

36He engraved cherubims, lions, and palm trees on the ledges and borders, all proportioned and looking bussin.

37He made ten bases this way: all of them were the same casting, same measure, same size, no cap.

38Then he made ten brass lavers, each one holding forty baths, and every laver was four cubits, placed on each of the ten bases.

39He put five bases on the right side of the house and five on the left, with the sea chilling on the right side, facing east and south.

40Hiram made the lavers, shovels, and basins, finishing up all the work he did for King Solomon’s house, and it was all goated.

41The two pillars and the bowls chillin' on top, plus those dope networks covering the bowls. Vibes.

42Four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows for each network to flex on those bowls. Bussin'.

43Ten bases and ten lavers just chillin' on those bases, no cap.

44One sea and twelve oxen under it, straight up lit.

45The pots, shovels, and basons made by Hiram for King Solomon's crib were all shiny brass. Goated.

46The king dropped them in the Jordan plain, between Succoth and Zarthan, savage move.

47Solomon didn't even weigh all the vessels 'cause there were way too many; the brass weight was sus.

48Solomon crafted all the stuff for the Lord's house: the gold altar and the gold table for the showbread, periodt.

49Candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left, flexing before the oracle with flowers, lamps, and gold tongs.

50Bowls, snuffers, basons, spoons, and censers of pure gold, plus gold hinges for the inner house doors and the temple doors. Slaps.

51And that’s a wrap on all the stuff King Solomon did for the Lord's crib. He brought in all the lit things his dad David dedicated—silver, gold, and the dope vessels—straight into the treasures at the Lord's house.

KJV: 1 Kings 7

1But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

4And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.

5And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.

6And 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.

7Then 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.

8And 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.

9All 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.

10And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.

12And 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 Lord, and for the porch of the house.

13And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

14He 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.

15For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

16And 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:

17And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

18And 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.

19And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

20And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.

21And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

22And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

23And 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.

24And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

25It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

26And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

27And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

28And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

29And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

30And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

31And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

32And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.

34And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

35And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

36For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

37After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

38Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

39And 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 eastward over against the south.

40And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord:

41The 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 top of the pillars;

42And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;

43And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

44And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

45And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass.

46In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

47And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

48And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,

49And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

50And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

51So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
