Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen.1 Kings 6:29Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.1 Kings 6:32The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.1 Kings 6:35He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.1 Kings 7:13Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.1 Kings 7:14He 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.1 Kings 7:15He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.1 Kings 7:16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.1 Kings 7:17For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.1 Kings 7:18Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.1 Kings 7:19And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.1 Kings 7:20On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.1 Kings 7:21Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.1 Kings 7:22And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.1 Kings 7:23He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.1 Kings 7:24Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.1 Kings 7:25The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.1 Kings 7:26It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.1 Kings 7:27In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.1 Kings 7:28This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,1 Kings 7:29and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.1 Kings 7:30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.1 Kings 7:31The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.1 Kings 7:32There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.1 Kings 7:33The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.1 Kings 7:34Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.1 Kings 7:35At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.1 Kings 7:36He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.1 Kings 7:37In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.1 Kings 7:38He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.1 Kings 7:39He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.1 Kings 7:40Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:1 Kings 7:41the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;1 Kings 7:42the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);1 Kings 7:43the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;1 Kings 7:44the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;1 Kings 7:45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.1 Kings 7:46The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.1 Kings 7:47Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.1 Kings 7:48Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;1 Kings 7:49the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;1 Kings 7:50the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.1 Kings 7:51So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.2 Chronicles 2:13So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.2 Chronicles 2:14He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tyre. He is skilled in work with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He is experienced in every kind of engraving and can execute any design that is given him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, your father David.Psalm 74:6and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.Proverbs 7:16I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.Isaiah 44:9All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or comprehend, so they are put to shame.Isaiah 44:10Who fashions a god or casts an idol which profits him nothing?Isaiah 44:11Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are only human. Let them all assemble and take their stand; they will all be brought to terror and shame.Isaiah 44:12The blacksmith takes a tool and labors over the coals; he fashions an idol with hammers and forges it with his strong arms. Yet he grows hungry and loses his strength; he fails to drink water and grows faint.Isaiah 44:13The woodworker extends a measuring line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He fashions it in the likeness of man, like man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.Isaiah 44:14He cuts down cedars or retrieves a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow.Isaiah 44:15It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread. He also fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.Isaiah 44:16He burns half of it in the fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. Indeed, he warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.”Isaiah 44:17From the rest he makes a god, his graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, “Save me, for you are my god.”Isaiah 45:20Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.Habakkuk 2:18What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it—or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
