11 (A)(B)Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. (C)So Hiram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God: 12 the two pillars, (D)the bowls, and the two capitals on the top of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 13 (E)and the 400 pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. 14 (F)He made the stands also, and the basins on the stands, 15 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it. 16 The pots, the shovels, (G)the forks, and all the equipment for these (H)(I)Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord. 17 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.[a] 18 (J)Solomon made all these things in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze was not sought.

19 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar, (K)the tables for the bread of the Presence, 20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold (L)to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed; 21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold; 22 the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold, and the sockets[b] of the temple, for the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and for the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.

(M)Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.

11 And 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:

12 the 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;

13 the 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);

14 the stands(B) with their basins;

15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

16 the 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. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth(D) and Zarethan.[a] 18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze(E) could not be calculated.

19 Solomon 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;

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

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

22 the 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.

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.
