1 Kings 7:40-47

40Additionally, Huram made the pots,1 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.2 47Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
