¹⁴ His mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been a craftsman from Tyre who worked in bronze. He was wise and knowledgeable and a skilled craftsman with all varieties of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all of his work.

¹⁵ He cast two bronze pillars, each of them measured eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.^{[a] 16} He also cast two bronze capitals to be set on the top of the pillars. Each of the capitals was five cubits high.
