	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	But Solomon was buildinge his owne house thirteene yeres, and finished it all.	Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house.	It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.
2	And he built ye house in the wood Libanon, an hundred cubites long, and fiftie cubites broade, and thirtie cubites hie: And it stoode vpon foure rowes of Cedar pillers, and Cedar beames were layde vpon the pillers.	He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was a hundred cubits and its breadth fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits, and it was built on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.	He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high, with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams.
3	And the roofe was Cedar aboue vpon the beames that laye on the pillers, euen 45 beames in fifteene rowes.	And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.	It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns—forty-five beams, fifteen to a row.
4	And there were windowes in three rowes, and the windowes were one against another three folde.	There were window frames in three rows, and window opposite window in three tiers.	Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other.
5	And al the doores with the syde postes & the vpper postes were foure square, and had windowes one against another three folde.	All the doorways and windows had square frames, and window was opposite window in three tiers.	All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.
6	And he made a porche by the pillers that bare vp the house fiftie cubites long, and thirtie cubites broade, and the porche was before those and the other pillers: for there was a thicke tree set before them.	And he made the Hall of Pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits. There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.	He made a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty wide. In front of it was a portico, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.
7	Then he made a porche to sit & iudge in, euen a porche of iudgmet, seeled with Cedar throughout all the pauementes.	And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment. It was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.	He built the throne hall, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge, and he covered it with cedar from floor to ceiling.
8	And his house wherein he dwelt had an other hall, more inward then the porche, of lyke worke: And then Solomo made an house for Pharaos daughter ( whom he had taken to wyfe) lyke vnto the fashion of the porche.	His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court back of the hall, was of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter whom he had taken in marriage.	And the palace in which he was to live, set farther back, was similar in design. Solomon also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
9	And all these were of the best stones, hewed after a measure and sawed with sawes within and without, from the foundation vnto the beames that laye aboue, after the measure, and euen so on the out syde toward the great court.	All these were made of costly stones, cut according to measure, sawed with saws, back and front, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside to the great court.	All these structures, from the outside to the great courtyard and from foundation to eaves, were made of blocks of high-grade stone cut to size and smoothed on their inner and outer faces.
10	And the foundation was layde vpon rich stones, and that very great stones, whereof some were ten cubites, and some eyght cubites.	The foundation was of costly stones, huge stones, stones of eight and ten cubits.	The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits and some eight.
11	And aboue were riche stones, squared after a certayne rule, and couered with Cedar.	And above were costly stones, cut according to measurement, and cedar.	Above were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
12	And the great court round about, was with three rowes of hewed stones, and one rowe of Cedar planckes, after the maner of the inner court of the house of the Lorde, and of the porche of the temple.	The great court had three courses of cut stone all around, and a course of cedar beams; so had the inner court of the house of the LORD and the vestibule of the house.	The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the LORD with its portico.
13	And king Solomon sent and fet one Hiram out of Tyre,	And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.	King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,
14	A widowes sonne of ye tribe of Nephthalim, his father being a man of Tyre: Which Hiram was a craftesman in brasse, ful of wisedome, vnderstanding, and cunning, to worke all maner of worke in brasse: And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his worke.	He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work.	whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom, with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.
15	For he cast two pillers of brasse of eyghteene cubites hie a peece: & a string of twelue cubites did compasse either of them about.	He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same.	He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16	And he made two pommels of moulten brasse, after the fashion of a crowne, to set on the toppes of the pillers: The height of the one head peece contayned fiue cubites, and the height of the other head peece contayned fiue cubites also.	He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.	He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high.
17	He made networke, & wrythen worke like chaines for the pommels vpon the head peeces that were on the top of the pillers: euen seuen rowes vpon the one head peece, and seuen vpon the other.	There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital.	A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital.
18	And so he made the pillers, and two rowes of pomegranets rounde about in the one networke to couer the pommels that were vpon the top: and this he did also, for the other head peece.	Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar, and he did the same with the other capital.	He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital.
19	And the pommels that were on the top of the pillers, were after lillie worke in the porche foure cubites.	Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits.	The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
20	And the pommels vpon the two pillers had also aboue ouer against the middest within the networke: pomegranets and vpon the second head peece were there two hundred pomegranets in two rowes round about.	The capitals were on the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the latticework. There were two hundred pomegranates in two rows all around, and so with the other capital.	On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
21	And he set vp the pillers in the porch of the temple: And when he had set vp the right piller, he called the name therof Iachin: and when he had set vp the left piller, he called the name thereof Boaz.	He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple. He set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Boaz.	He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.
22	And vpon the top of the pillers were lillie worke: & so was the workmanship of the pillers finished.	And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.	The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed.
23	And he made a moulten lauatorie ten cubites wide from brim to brim, round in compasse, and fiue cubites hie: And a string of thirtie cubites did compasse it about.	Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.	He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.
24	And vnder the brim of it there were knoppes round about, ten in one cubite, and thei compassed the lauatorie round about: And the knoppes were cast with it in two rowes when it was cast.	Under its brim were gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.	Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
25	And it stoode on twelue oxen, of which three loked toward the north, three toward the west, three toward the south, and three toward the east: and the lauatorie stoode vpon them, and al their hinder partes were inward.	It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward.	The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.
26	It was an hand breadth thicke, and the brym was wrought lyke the brym of a cup with flowres of lilies, and it contained two thousand battes.	Its thickness was a handbreadth, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.	It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
27	And he made ten feete of brasse: foure cubites long, and foure cubites broade a peece, and three cubites hie.	He also made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.	He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.
28	And the worke of the feete was on this maner: They had sides, and the sides were betweene the ledges.	This was the construction of the stands: they had panels, and the panels were set in the frames,	This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights.
29	And on the sides that were betweene the ledges, were lions, oxen, and Cherubs: and likewise vpo the ledges that were aboue: and beneath the lions and oxen, were certayne additions made of thynne worke.	and on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the frames, both above and below the lions and oxen, there were wreaths of beveled work.	On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim—and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work.
30	And vnder euery foote were foure brasen wheeles, and boordes of brasse: and in the foure corners thereof vnder the lauatorie, were vndersetters moulten at the side of euery addition.	Moreover, each stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and at the four corners were supports for a basin. The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each.	Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side.
31	And the stalke of the lauatorie was in the middle of it, and aboue one cubite: But the stalke thereof was round after the worke of the foote, a cubite & a halfe: and also vpon the stalke were grauings with their bands, foure square and not round.	Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit. Its opening was round, as a pedestal is made, a cubit and a half deep. At its opening there were carvings, and its panels were square, not round.	On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half. Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round.
32	And vnder the sydes were foure wheeles, and the axeltrees ioyned fast to the bottome, and the height of euery wheele was a cubite and an halfe.	And the four wheels were underneath the panels. The axles of the wheels were of one piece with the stands, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.	The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half.
33	And the workmanship of the wheeles was lyke the worke of a charet wheele: and the axeltrees, the nauelles, spokes, and shaftes, were al moulten.	The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.	The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
34	And there were foure vndersetters in the foure corners of one foote, & the vndersetters were of ye very bottome selfe.	There were four supports at the four corners of each stand. The supports were of one piece with the stands.	Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.
35	And in the height of the bottome was there a rounde compasse of halfe a cubite hie: and in that height of the bottome there proceeded both ledges and sydes out of the same.	And on the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the stand its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.	At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.
36	For in the boordes of the ledges and on the sydes, he had grauen pictures of Cherubims, lions, & paulme trees, one by another rounde about.	And on the surfaces of its stays and on its panels, he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.	He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.
37	Thus made he the ten feete after this maner: and they had all one fashion of casting, one measure, and one syse.	After this manner he made the ten stands. All of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form.	This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.
38	Then made he ten lauers of brasse one lauer contayning fourtie battes: and euery lauer was foure cubites, & vpon euery one of the ten feete, he put one lauer.	And he made ten basins of bronze. Each basin held forty baths, each basin measured four cubits, and there was a basin for each of the ten stands.	He then made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands.
39	And he put fiue of those feete on the ryght syde of the house, and other fiue on the left: and he set the lauatorie on the right syde of the house eastward, and toward the south.	And he set the stands, five on the south side of the house, and five on the north side of the house. And he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.	He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
40	And Hiram made pots, shouels, and basons, & so finished all the worke that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lorde:	Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the LORD:	He also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the LORD:
41	That is to say, two pillers, and two round head peeces that were to be set on the toppes of the two pillers.	the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars;	the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
42	And foure hundred pomegranates for the two networkes, euen two rowes of pomegranates in one networke to couer the two head peeces that were to be set on the toppes of the pillers:	and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;	the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);
43	And the ten feete, and ten lauers on the feete:	the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands;	the ten stands with their ten basins;
44	The lauatorie, and twelue oxen vnder it:	and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.	the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
45	And pottes, shouels, and basons: And all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solomo for the house of the Lord, were of bright brasse.	Now the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the LORD, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze.	the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. All these objects that Huram made for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD were of burnished bronze.
46	In the playne of Iordane did the king cast them euen in the thicke claye, betweene Socoh and Zarthan.	In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.	The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth and Zarethan.
47	And Solomon left all the vessels vn. wayed because they were so exceeding many, neither founde they out the waight of the brasse.	And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.	Solomon left all these things unweighed, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.
48	And so Solomon made al the vessels that parteyned vnto the house of the Lorde, the golden aulter, and the golden table wheron the shew bread was:	So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, the golden table for the bread of the Presence,	Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD’s temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;
49	And fiue candelstickes for the ryght side, and fiue for the left before the quier, of pure golde, with flowres, lampes, and snuffers of golde.	the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;	the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary); the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;
50	And bowles, flat peeces, basons, spoones, & masours, of pure golde: and hyndges made he of golde, both for the doores of the quier the place most holy, and for the doores of the temple also.	the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and fire pans, of pure gold; and the sockets of gold, for the doors of the innermost part of the house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple.	the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51	And so was ended all the worke that king Solomon made for the house of the Lorde: And Solomon brought in the thinges which Dauid his father had dedicated, euen the siluer, golde, and vessels, and layde them vp among the treasures of the house of the Lord.	Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.	When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the LORD was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated—the silver and gold and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the LORD’s temple.
