Context of 1 Kings 7:41

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: Two 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.
