Context of 2 Chronicles 4:15

13400 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); 14the carts with the buckets that were on them; the big bronze bath called ‘the Sea’ and the 12 bulls under it; 16the pots, small tools and forks for meat. King Solomon asked Huram-Abi to make all these things for the Lord's temple. He used bright bronze to make all these things. 17The 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.
