1 Kings 7:40-47

40He also made the necessary washbasins, shovels, and bowls. So at last Huram completed everything King Solomon had assigned him to make for the Temple of the Lord:

41the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two networks of interwoven chains that decorated the capitals;

42the 400 pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals (two rows of pomegranates for each of the chain networks that decorated the capitals on top of the pillars);

43the ten water carts holding the ten basins;

44the Sea and the twelve oxen under it;

45the ash buckets, the shovels, and the bowls. Huram made all these things of burnished bronze for the Temple of the Lord, just as King Solomon had directed.

46The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.

47Solomon did not weigh all these things because there were so many; the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
