1 Kings 7:34-51

The four supports were on the four corners of each stand. They were made as one piece with the stand. A strip of bronze around the top of each stand was nine inches deep. It was also made as one piece with the stand. The sides of the stand and the frames were covered with carvings of creatures with wings, as well as lions, palm trees, and flowers. This is the way Huram made the ten stands. The bronze for each stand was melted and poured into a mold, so all the stands were the same size and shape. Huram also made ten bronze bowls, one bowl for each of the ten stands. Each bowl was six feet across and could hold about two hundred thirty gallons. Huram put five stands on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. He put the large bowl in the southeast corner of the Temple. Huram also made bowls, shovels, and small bowls. So Huram finished all his work for King Solomon on the Temple of the LORD: two pillars; two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars; two nets to cover the two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars; four hundred pomegranates for the two nets (there were two rows of pomegranates for each net covering the bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars); ten stands with a bowl on each stand; the large bowl with twelve bulls under it; the pots, shovels, small bowls, and all the utensils for the Temple of the LORD. Huram made everything King Solomon wanted from polished bronze. The king had these things poured into clay molds that were made in the plain of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon never weighed the bronze used to make these things, because there was too much to weigh. So the total weight of all the bronze was never known. Solomon also made all the items for the Temple of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table which held the bread that shows God’s people are in his presence; the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right side and five on the left side in front of the Most Holy Place); the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold; the pure gold bowls, wick trimmers, small bowls, pans, and dishes used to carry coals; the gold hinges for the doors of the Most Holy Place and the main room of the Temple. Finally the work King Solomon did for the Temple of the LORD was finished. Solomon brought in everything his father David had set apart for the Temple—silver, gold, and other articles. He put everything in the treasuries of the Temple of the LORD.
