Context of 1 Kings 7:34
32The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half. 33And the structure of the wheels was like the structure of a chariot wheel; their axletrees, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast metal. There were four brackets at the four corners of each base; each bracket was of one piece with the base itself. 35On top of the base there was a band half a cubit high encircling it—its braces and its borders were part of it. 36On the plates of the braces and on its borders, he engraved cheruvim, lions and palm trees, wherever there was clear space around each, with encircling wreaths.

The description of their structure shows that they were elegantly fitted up and skilfully adapted to their purpose. They stood, not on the axles, but on four rests attached to the axles, so that the figured sides were considerably raised above the wheels. They were all exactly alike in form and size.
