第七章延续第六章，记载圣殿器皿、金器、柱子、铜海的细节，也记录所罗门建王宫。但圣经的安排提醒我们：所罗门先建神的殿，再建自己的家。
当次序对了，神就亲自预备一切，使不可能成为可能。

一
先建神的殿，生命才有根基
【王上7:1】
所罗门花十三年建王宫，但他先完成圣殿。
启示我们：生命的稳固不是来自我们的努力，而是来自神居首位。

二
神会预备你所需的材料
【王上7:13–14】
神预备户兰、智慧、材料、技能，建殿并非靠所罗门本身，而是神的供应。
当我们回到正确次序，不足就不再是难题。

三
把神给你的，再献回给神
【王上7:51】
所罗门把大卫预备的金银器皿全部放入耶和华的殿中，代表顺服与承接。
生命真正的祝福在于：把恩典再次交回神的手中。

圣灵光照
我常先忙自己的事，把神放在后面。我相信必须靠自己掌控，心才会稳定。这带来焦虑、急促、压力、怕不够。于是过度计划、掌控、忙碌，忽略神，使生命次序混乱。

神的安慰
孩子，你不需要自己撑起一切。先建我的殿，其余我必为你预备。
【太6:33】

破除
奉主耶稣的名，我拒绝靠自己。我棄绝把神放最后的模式。我砍断害怕缺乏、害怕失控的谎言。

属灵交换
神是建造者，我不需独撑。
【诗127:1】
神会供应我所需。
【腓4:19】
祂是我的保障和平安。
【诗18:2】【约14:27】
祂亲自引导脚步。
【箴16:9】
祂的恩典够我用。
【林后12:9】
祂的同在使我得安息。
【出33:14】

今天我願意先让神居首位，祂必建立我不能建立的，托住我不能托住的。

祷告
主，我愿意把生命次序交回给你。求你引导、建造、扶持我。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

列王紀上 7

所羅門為自己建造宮室，十三年方才造成。 2 又建造黎巴嫩林宮，長一百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘。有香柏木柱三行，柱上有香柏木柁梁， 3 其上以香柏木為蓋，每行柱子十五根，共有四十五根。 4 有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。 5 所有的門框都是厚木見方的，有窗戶三層，窗與窗相對。 6 並建造有柱子的廊子，長五十肘，寬三十肘。在這廊前又有廊子，廊外有柱子和臺階。 7 又建造一廊，其中設立審判的座位，這廊從地到頂都用香柏木遮蔽。 8 廊後院內有所羅門住的宮室，工作與這工作相同。所羅門又為所娶法老的女兒建造一宮，做法與這廊子一樣。

9 建造這一切所用的石頭都是寶貴的，是按著尺寸鑿成的，是用鋸裡外鋸齊的。從根基直到簷石，從外頭直到大院，都是如此。 10 根基是寶貴的大石頭，有長十肘的，有長八肘的， 11 上面有香柏木和按著尺寸鑿成寶貴的石頭。 12 大院周圍有鑿成的石頭三層，香柏木一層，都照耶和華殿的內院和殿廊的樣式。

13 所羅門王差遣人往推羅去，將戶蘭召了來。 14 他是拿弗他利支派中一個寡婦的兒子，他父親是推羅人，做銅匠的。戶蘭滿有智慧、聰明、技能，善於各樣銅作。他來到所羅門王那裡，做王一切所要做的。

15 他製造兩根銅柱，每根高十八肘，圍十二肘。 16 又用銅鑄了兩個柱頂安在柱上，各高五肘。 17 柱頂上有裝修的網子和擰成的鏈索，每頂七個。 18 網子周圍有兩行石榴遮蓋柱頂，兩個柱頂都是如此。 19 廊子的柱頂徑四肘，刻著百合花。 20 兩柱頂的鼓肚上挨著網子，各有兩行石榴環繞，兩行共有二百。 21 他將兩根柱子立在殿廊前頭，右邊立一根，起名叫雅斤，左邊立一根，起名叫波阿斯。 22 在柱頂上刻著百合花。這樣，造柱子的工就完畢了。

23 他又鑄一個銅海，樣式是圓的，高五肘，徑十肘，圍三十肘。 24 在海邊之下，周圍有野瓜的樣式，每肘十瓜，共有兩行，是鑄海的時候鑄上的。 25 有十二隻銅牛馱海，三隻向北，三隻向西，三隻向南，三隻向東。海在牛上，牛尾都向內。 26 海厚一掌，邊如杯邊，又如百合花，可容二千罷特。

27 他用銅製造十個盆座，每座長四肘，寬四肘，高三肘。 28 座的造法是這樣：四面都有心子，心子在邊子當中。 29 心子上有獅子和牛並基路伯。邊上有小座，獅子和牛以下有垂下的瓔珞。 30 每盆座有四個銅輪和銅軸。小座的四角上在盆以下，有鑄成的盆架，其旁都有瓔珞。 31 小座高一肘，口是圓的，彷彿座的樣式，徑一肘半，在口上有雕工，心子是方的，不是圓的。 32 四個輪子在心子以下，輪軸與座相連，每輪高一肘半。 33 輪的樣式如同車輪，軸、輞、輻、轂都是鑄的。 34 每座四角上都有盆架，是與座一同鑄成的。 35 座上有圓架，高半肘。座上有撐子和心子，是與座一同鑄的。 36 在撐子和心子上刻著基路伯、獅子和棕樹，周圍有瓔珞。 37 十個盆座都是這樣，鑄法、尺寸、樣式相同。

38 又用銅製造十個盆，每盆可容四十罷特，盆徑四肘。在那十座上，每座安設一盆。 39 五個安在殿門的右邊，五個放在殿門的左邊。又將海放在殿門的右旁，就是南邊。 40 戶蘭又造了盆、鏟子和盤子。這樣，他為所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工。 41 所造的就是兩根柱子和柱上兩個如球的頂，並兩個蓋柱頂的網子， 42 和四百石榴，安在兩個網子上，每網兩行，蓋著兩個柱上如球的頂。 43 十個座和其上的十個盆， 44 海和海下的十二隻牛， 45 盆、鏟子、盤子。這一切都是戶蘭給所羅門王用光亮的銅為耶和華的殿造成的， 46 是遵王命在約旦平原，疏割和撒拉但中間藉膠泥鑄成的。 47 這一切所羅門都沒有過秤，因為甚多，銅的輕重也無法可查。

48 所羅門又造耶和華殿裡的金壇和陳設餅的金桌子； 49 內殿前的精金燈臺，右邊五個，左邊五個；並其上的金花、燈盞、蠟剪； 50 與精金的杯、盤、鑷子、調羹、火鼎；以及至聖所，內殿的門樞和外殿的門樞。

51 所羅門王做完了耶和華殿的一切工，就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來，放在耶和華殿的府庫裡。

1 Kings 7

But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.

2 He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars. 3 And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row. 4 There were windows with beveled frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers. 5 And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers.

6 He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them was a portico with pillars, and a canopy was in front of them.

7 Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.

8 And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken as wife.

9 All these were of costly stones cut to size, trimmed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the eaves, and also on the outside to the great court. 10 The foundation was of costly stones, large stones, some ten cubits and some eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, hewn to size, and cedar wood. 12 The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewn stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of the Lord and the vestibule of the temple.

13 Now King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre. 14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

15 And he cast two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each. 16 Then he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. 17 He made a lattice network, with wreaths of chainwork, for the capitals which were on top of the pillars: seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital. 18 So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

19 The capitals which were on top of the pillars in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits. 20 The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were two hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.

21 Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz. 22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. So the work of the pillars was finished.

23 And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

24 Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast. 25 It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward. 26 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained two thousand baths.

27 He also made ten carts of bronze; four cubits was the length of each cart, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height. 28 And this was the design of the carts: They had panels, and the panels were between frames; 29 on the panels that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And on the frames was a pedestal on top. Below the lions and oxen were wreaths of plaited work. 30 Every cart had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and its four feet had supports. Under the laver were supports of cast bronze beside each wreath. 31 Its opening inside the crown at the top was one cubit in diameter; and the opening was round, shaped like a pedestal, one and a half cubits in outside diameter; and also on the opening were engravings, but the panels were square, not round. 32 Under the panels were the four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the cart. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits. 33 The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axle pins, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast bronze. 34 And there were four supports at the four corners of each cart; its supports were part of the cart itself. 35 On the top of the cart, at the height of half a cubit, it was perfectly round. And on the top of the cart, its flanges and its panels were of the same casting. 36 On the plates of its flanges and on its panels he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was a clear space on each, with wreaths all around. 37 Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.

38 Then he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver was four cubits. On each of the ten carts was a laver. 39 And he put five carts on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the Sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast.

40 Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the Lord: 41 the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; 42 four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars); 43 the ten carts, and ten lavers on the carts; 44 one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; 45 the pots, the shovels, and the bowls.

All these articles which Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and Zaretan. 47 And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.

48 Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread; 49 the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold; 50 the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51 So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
