Context of 2 Chronicles 4:16

14He also made the stands and he made the basins on the stands, 15and the one Sea with the twelve oxen under it. The pails, the shovels, the forks, and all its utensils, Huram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord. 17On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18So Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
