1 Reis 7 - Bíblia Online

Salomão levou treze anos para terminar a construção do seu palácio. 
Ele construiu o Palácio da Floresta do Líbano com quarenta e cinco metros de comprimento, vinte e dois metros e meio de largura e treze metros e meio de altura, sustentado por quatro fileiras de colunas de cedro sobre as quais apoiavam-se vigas de cedro aparelhadas. 
O forro que ficava sobre as vigas que se apoiavam nas colunas era de cedro, eram quarenta e cinco vigas, quinze por fileira. 
Havia janelas dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra. 
Todas as portas tinham estrutura retangular; ficavam na parte da frente, dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra. 
Fez um pórtico de colunas de vinte e dois metros e meio de comprimento e treze metros e meio de largura. Em frente havia outro pórtico com colunas e uma cobertura que se estendia além das colunas. 
Construiu a Sala do Trono, isto é, a Sala da Justiça, onde iria julgar, e revestiu-a de cedro desde o teto até o chão. 
E o palácio para sua moradia, no outro pátio, tinha um formato semelhante. Salomão fez também um palácio como esse para a filha do faraó, com quem tinha se casado. 
Todas essas construções, desde o lado externo até o grande pátio e do alicerce até o beiral, foram feitas de pedra de qualidade superior, cortadas sob medida e desbastadas com uma serra nos lados interno e externo. 
Os alicerces foram lançados com pedras grandes de qualidade superior, algumas medindo quatro metros e meio e outras três metros e sessenta centímetros. 
Na parte de cima havia pedras de qualidade superior, cortadas sob medida, e vigas de cedro. 
O grande pátio era cercado por um muro de três camadas de pedras lavradas e uma camada de vigas de cedro aparelhadas, da mesma maneira que o pátio interior do templo do Senhor, com o seu pórtico. 
O rei Salomão enviara mensageiros a Tiro e trouxera Hurão, 
filho de uma viúva da tribo de Naftali e de um cidadão de Tiro, um artífice em bronze. Hurão era extremamente hábil, experiente e sabia fazer todo tipo de trabalho em bronze. Apresentou-se ao rei Salomão e fez depois todo o trabalho que lhe foi designado. 
Ele fundiu duas colunas de bronze, cada uma com oito metros e dez centímetros de altura e cinco metros e quarenta centímetros de circunferência, medidas pelo fio apropriado. 
Também fez dois capitéis de bronze fundido para colocar no alto das colunas; cada capitel tinha dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura. 
Conjuntos de correntes entrelaçadas ornamentavam os capitéis no alto das colunas, sete em cada capitel. 
Fez também romãs em duas fileiras que circundavam cada conjunto de correntes para cobrir os capitéis no alto das colunas. Fez o mesmo com cada capitel. 
Os capitéis no alto das colunas do pórtico tinham o formato de lírios, com um metro e oitenta centímetros de altura. 
Nos capitéis das duas colunas, acima da parte que tinha formato de taça, perto do conjunto de correntes, havia duzentas romãs enfileiradas ao redor. 
Ele levantou as colunas na frente do pórtico do templo. Deu o nome de Jaquim à coluna ao sul e de Boaz à coluna ao norte. 
Os capitéis no alto tinham a forma de lírios. E assim completou-se o trabalho das colunas. 
Fez o tanque de metal fundido, redondo, medindo quatro metros e meio de diâmetro e dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura. Era preciso um fio de treze metros e meio para medir a sua circunferência. 
Abaixo da borda e ao seu redor havia duas fileiras de frutos, de cinco em cinco centímetros, fundidas numa só peça com o tanque. 
O tanque ficava sobre doze touros, três voltados para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul e três para o leste. Ficava em cima deles, e as pernas traseiras dos touros eram voltadas para o centro. 
A espessura do tanque era de quatro dedos, e sua borda era como a borda de um cálice, como uma flor de lírio. Tinha capacidade de quarenta mil litros. 
Também fez dez carrinhos de bronze; cada um tinha um metro e oitenta centímetros de comprimento e de largura, e um metro e trinta e cinco centímetros de altura. 
Os carrinhos eram feitos assim: Tinham placas laterais presas a armações. 
Nas placas, entre as armações, havia figuras de leões, bois e querubins: Sobre as armações, acima e abaixo dos leões e bois, havia grinaldas de metal batido. 
Em cada carrinho havia quatro rodas de bronze com eixos de bronze, cada um com uma bacia apoiada em quatro pés e fundida ao lado de cada grinalda. 
Do lado de dentro do carrinho havia uma abertura circular com quarenta e cinco centímetros de profundidade. Essa abertura era redonda, e com sua base media setenta centímetros. Havia esculturas em torno da abertura. As placas dos carrinhos eram quadradas, e não redondas. 
As quatro rodas ficavam sob as placas, e os eixos das rodas ficavam presos ao estrado. O diâmetro de cada roda era de setenta centímetros. 
As rodas eram feitas como rodas de carros; os eixos, os aros, os raios e os cubos eram todos de metal fundido. 
Havia quatro cabos que se projetavam do carrinho, um em cada canto. 
No alto do carrinho havia uma lâmina circular de vinte e dois centímetros de comprimento. Os apoios e as placas estavam fixados no alto do carrinho. 
Ele esculpiu figuras de querubins, leões e tamareiras na superfície dos apoios e nas placas, em cada espaço disponível, com grinaldas ao redor. 
Foi assim que fez os dez carrinhos. Foram todos fundidos nos mesmos moldes e eram idênticos no tamanho e na forma. 
Depois ele fez dez pias de bronze, cada uma com capacidade de oitocentos litros, medindo um metro e oitenta centímetros de diâmetro; uma pia para cada um dos dez carrinhos. 
Ele pôs cinco carrinhos no lado sul do templo e cinco no lado norte. Pôs o tanque no lado sul, no canto sudeste do templo. 
Também fez os jarros, as pás e as bacias para aspersão. Assim, Hurão completou todo o trabalho de que fora encarregado pelo rei Salomão, no templo do Senhor: 
as duas colunas; os dois capitéis em forma de taça no alto das colunas; os dois conjuntos de correntes que decoravam os dois capitéis; 
as quatrocentas romãs para os dois conjuntos de correntes, sendo duas fileiras de romãs para cada conjunto; 
os dez carrinhos com as suas dez pias; 
o tanque e os doze touros debaixo dele; 
e os jarros, as pás e as bacias de aspersão. Todos esses utensílios que Hurão fez a pedido do rei Salomão para o templo do Senhor, eram de bronze polido. 
Foi na planície do Jordão, entre Sucote e Zaretã, que o rei os mandou fundir, em moldes de barro. 
Salomão não mandou pesar esses utensílios, tão grande era o seu número que o peso do bronze não foi determinado. 
Além desses, Salomão mandou fazer também todos estes outros utensílios para o templo do Senhor: o altar de ouro; a mesa de ouro sobre a qual ficavam os pães da Presença; 
os candelabros de ouro puro, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda, em frente do santuário interno; as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes de ouro; 
as bacias, os cortadores de pavio, as bacias para aspersão, as tigelas e os incensários; e as dobradiças de ouro para as portas da sala interna, o Lugar Santíssimo, e também para as portas do átrio principal. 
Terminada toda a obra que Salomão realizou para o templo do Senhor, ele trouxe tudo que seu pai havia consagrado e colocou junto com os tesouros do templo do Senhor: a prata, o ouro e os utensílios. 

But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks. 5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them. 
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. 9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house. 
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 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 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 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 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 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 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 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. 21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. 
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition. 31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round. 32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. 34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. 35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. 36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about. 37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south. 
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass. 46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. 
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was, 49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
