1 Kings 7:38-51

38And he made aten basins of bronze. Each basin held forty baths, each basin measured four cubits, and there was a basin for each of the ten stands. 39And he set the stands, five on the south side of the house, and five on the north side of the house. And he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

40 bHiram also made cthe pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two dlatticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars; 42and the efour hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars; 43the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; 44and fthe one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.

45Now gthe pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the Lord, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze. 46In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between hSuccoth and iZarethan. 47And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; jthe weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

48So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the Lord: kthe golden altar, lthe golden table for mthe bread of the Presence, 49 nthe lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; othe flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and pfire pans, of pure gold; and the sockets of gold, for the doors of the innermost part of the house, qthe Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple.

51Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in rthe things that David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
