Context of 2 Chronicles 4:16

1410 stands and 10 basins on the stands, 151 pool and the 12 bulls under it, pots, shovels, and three-pronged forks. Huram made all of them out of polished bronze for the Lord’s temple at King Solomon’s request. 17The king cast them in foundries in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah. 18Solomon made so many of these products that no one tried to determine how much the bronze weighed.
