2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 4:12–18

¹²the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars;

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

¹³the 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);

¹⁴the stands;

the basins on the stands;

¹⁵the Sea;

the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

¹⁶and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles.

All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. ¹⁷The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.^e ¹⁸Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
