And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel who provided provisions for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.

For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece. And a line of twelve cubits encompassed each of them around.

And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass. And the four corners of it had supports. Beneath the laver were the molten supports with wreaths at the side of each.

And there were four supports at the four corners of each base. The supports of it were of the base itself.

And on the plates of the ledges of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars,

And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. And the king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.

Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying before them.
