1 Kings 7:38-46

38Then he made ten basins of bronze; each basin held forty baths and was four cubits, and there was one basin on each of the ten stands.

39Then he placed the bases, five on the right [or south] side of the house and five on the left [or north] side; and he set the Sea [of cast metal] on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

40Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished all the work which he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord:

41the two pillars and the [two] bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars;

42and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars;

43the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;

44one Sea (basin), and the twelve oxen under the Sea;

45the pails, the shovels, and the bowls; all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze.

46In the plain of the Jordan [River] the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
