2 Chronicles 4:6-18

6Huram also made ten basins for washing and put five on the south side and five on the north side. The priests rinsed the meat prepared for the burnt offerings in them. They used the pool to wash themselves.

7Huram made ten gold lamp stands according to their specifications and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.

8He made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. And he made 100 gold bowls.

9He also made the priests’ courtyard and the large courtyard and its doors. He covered the doors with bronze.

10He set the pool on the south side in the southeast ⌞corner⌟.

11Huram also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Huram finished the work for King Solomon in God’s temple:

122 pillars, 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,

13400 pomegranates for the 2 sets of filigree (2 rows of pomegranates for each filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on the pillars),

1410 stands and 10  basins on the stands,

151 pool and the 12 bulls under it,

16pots, 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.
