2 Chronicles 4:10-22

10He put “The Sea” on the south side, in the southeast corner.

11Huram Abi made the pots, shovels, and bowls. He finished all the work on God’s temple he had been assigned by King Solomon.

12He made the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars, the latticework for the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,

13the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the latticework of the two pillars (each latticework had two rows of these ornaments at the bowl-shaped top of the pillar),

14the ten movable stands with their ten basins,

15the big bronze basin called “The Sea” with its twelve bulls underneath,

16and the pots, shovels, and meat forks. All the items King Solomon assigned Huram Abi to make for the Lord’s temple were made from polished bronze.

17The king had them cast in earthen foundries in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

18Solomon made so many of these items they did not weigh the bronze.

19Solomon also made these items for God’s temple: the gold altar, the tables on which the Bread of the Presence was kept,

20the pure gold lampstands and their lamps which burned as specified at the entrance to the inner sanctuary,

21the pure gold flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs,

22the pure gold trimming shears, basins, pans, and censers, and the gold door sockets for the inner sanctuary (the most holy place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
