1 Kings 7:38-46

38And Hiram also made ten bronze buckets. Each bucket contained about 800 litres. Each bucket was 1.8 metres across. There was one bucket for each of the ten carts.

39Hiram put five of the carts on the south side of the temple. He put the other five carts on the north side of the temple. He put ‘the Sea’ on the south side of the temple, at the south-east corner.

40Hiram also made dishes to carry ashes, small tools and bowls. So Hiram finished all the work in the Lord's temple that King Solomon had asked him to do. He made these things:

41Two pillars. Two pieces for the top of each pillar, with the shape of big bowls. Rows of chains on the tops of the pillars.

42400 images of pomegranates for the two groups of chains. (There were two rows of these images around the piece at the top of each pillar, which had the shape of a bowl.)

43Ten carts with the ten buckets that were on them.

44The big bath called ‘the Sea’ and the 12 bulls under it.

45The dishes, small tools and bowls. King Solomon asked Hiram to make all these things for the Lord's temple. Hiram used bright bronze to make all these things.

46The king told his workers to pour the hot bronze into shapes in the ground. They did that at a special place in the region of the Jordan Valley, between Succoth and Zarethan.
