If the lines \( \frac{x - 1}{-3} = \frac{y - 2}{2k} = \frac{z - 3}{2} \) and \( \frac{x - 1}{3k} = \frac{y - 1}{1} = \frac{z - 6}{-7} \) are perpendicular to each other, find the value of \( k \) and hence write the vector equation of a line perpendicular to these two lines passing through the point \( (3, -4, 7) \).
