1 Kings 7:40-47

Solomon’s Palace

⁴⁰Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord: ⁴¹the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two lattices to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; ⁴²and the four hundred pomegranates for the two lattices, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; ⁴³and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; ⁴⁴and the one Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea; ⁴⁵and the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze. ⁴⁶The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. ⁴⁷However, Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
