1 Kings 7:38-46
38Hiram also made ten bronze basins. Each basin held 240 gallons. Every basin was six feet ⌞wide⌟. There was one basin on each of the ten stands.
39He put five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north side of the temple. He set the pool on the south side of the temple in the southeast ⌞corner⌟.
40Hiram also made pots, shovels, and bowls. So Hiram finished all the work for King Solomon on the Lord’s temple:
412 pillars, the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the 2 pillars, and 2 sets of filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars,
42400 pomegranates for the 2 sets of filigree (2 rows of pomegranates for each filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on the pillars),
4310 stands and 10 basins on the stands,
441 pool, 12 bulls under the pool,
45pots, shovels, and bowls. Hiram made all these utensils out of polished bronze for the Lord’s temple at King Solomon’s request.
46The king cast them in foundries in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
