2 Chronicles 4:10-5:1

New International Version

¹⁰He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.

¹¹And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished^(A) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:

¹²the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

¹³the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

¹⁴the stands^(B) with their basins;

¹⁵the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

¹⁶the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.

All the objects that Huram-Abi^(C) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. ¹⁷The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth^(D) and Zarethan.^[a] ¹⁸All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze^(E) could not be calculated.

¹⁹Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple:

the golden altar;

the tables^(F) on which was the bread of the Presence;

²⁰the lampstands^(G) of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

²¹the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);

²²the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes^(H) and censers;^(I) and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.

5 When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished,^(J) he brought in the things his father David had dedicated^(K)—the silver and gold and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
