1 Kings

1 Kings 7:40–47

⁴⁰Additionally, Huram made the pots,^v shovels, and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:

⁴¹the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars;

the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;

⁴²the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);

⁴³the ten stands;

the ten basins on the stands;

⁴⁴the Sea;

the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

⁴⁵and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls.

All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze. ⁴⁶The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.^w ⁴⁷Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
