1 Kings 7:40-47

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.

47Solomon left all the products unweighed because so much bronze was used. No one tried to determine how much the bronze weighed.
