## 1 Kings 7:16-17 in Context (Verses 13–20 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/13) ¶ And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/14) 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.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/15) For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/16) And 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:
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/17) *And* 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/19) And the chapiters that *were* upon the top of the pillars *were* of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-kings/7/20) And 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.
