14He also made the stands, the basins upon the stands, 15and the one Sea with the 12 bulls under it, as well as the pots, the shovels and the meat hooks. All the utensils Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the House of Adonai were of polished bronze. 17The king had them cast with clay earth from the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah. 18Solomon made all these utensils in such great quantities that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
