Context of 1 Kings 7:33

31On the top of the cart there was a round piece which held a bowl. This piece was 50 centimetres deep and 75 centimetres across. Hiram cut pictures into the metal all around it. The bronze sides of the carts were square. They were not round. 32There were four wheels under each cart. They were fixed to axles. The axles and the cart joined together in one piece. Each wheel was 70 centimetres high. The wheels were like the wheels of a chariot. Hiram used bronze to make the axles and all the parts of the wheels. 34Each cart had four handles. There was one handle on each side, joined to the cart as one piece. 35There was a piece of metal round the top of each cart. It was 23 centimetres deep. It was fixed at each corner of the cart with pieces of bronze. These pieces and the sides of each cart were all joined together.
