The son of Geber had Ramoth Gilead, and his were the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh which lie in Gilead, and his were the coasts of Argob in Bashan, three score great cities with wall and bars of brass;

a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, his father being of Tyre. Which Hiram was a craftsman in brass, and full of wisdom, understanding and cunning to work all manner of work in brass. And he came to king Solomon and wrought all his work.

He cast two pillars of brass of eighteen cubits apiece high, and a string of twelve cubits might compass either of them about.

And he made two head pieces of molten brass to set on the tops of the pillars, of five cubits long apiece,

Then he cast a sea of brass, ten cubits wide from brim to brim and round in compass, and five cubits high. And a string of thirty cubits might compass it about,

And he made ten bottoms of brass, four cubits long and four cubits broad apiece, and three high.

And every bottom had four brazen wheels, whose axletrees were also of brass. And in the four corners were undersetters under the laver cast, each over against his fellow.

Then he made ten lavers of brass containing forty baths apiece, and they were of four cubits apiece, for every one of the bottoms a laver.

And the ten bottoms of brass with ten lavers upon them;

and pots, shovels and basins. And all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD were of bright brass.

And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, for the exceeding abundance of brass that was in them.

And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt from Kue: the merchants fetched them from Kue at a price.
