Beschrijving

King Solomon stands crowned among builders and counselors as the great work of the Temple rises behind him. Stone walls, columns, scaffolds, laborers, plans, and a measuring rod fill the scene, while an ornate monumental column in the foreground points to the sacred craftsmanship appointed for the house of the Lord. The royal figure’s commanding gesture presents Solomon as the divinely appointed king directing Israel’s most honored construction project in Jerusalem.

The image reflects the biblical account of Solomon building the Temple after the reign of David. In Scripture, the Temple becomes the central place of sacrifice, prayer, priestly service, and covenant worship for Israel. The orderly labor and architectural detail emphasize that worship was not treated casually; the house dedicated to the Lord was prepared with wisdom, skill, and reverence.

Schrift	1 Kings 6:1-14 1 Kings 7:13-22 2 Chronicles 3:1-2 1 Kings 6 1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD. 2 The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. 3 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. 4 And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. 5 He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around. 6 The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house. 7 When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built. 8 The entrance for the lowest story was on the south side of the house, and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third. 9 So he built the house and finished it, and he made the ceiling of the house of beams and planks of cedar. 10 He built the structure against the whole house, five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar. 11 Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon, 12 “Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father. 13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.” 14 So Solomon built the house and finished it. 1 Kings 7 13 And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. 14 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. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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. 19 Now the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars in the vestibule were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 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. 21 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. 22 And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished. 2 Chronicles 3 1 Toen begon Salomo het huis van deHEERE te bouwen, in Jeruzalem, op de berg Moria, waar deHEERE aan zijn vader David verschenen was, op de plaats die David bepaald had, op de dorsvloer van Ornan, de Jebusiet. 2 Hij begon te bouwen in de tweede maand, op de tweede dag, in het vierde jaar van zijn regering.
