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. 400 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.
