2 Chronicles 4:11-5:1

Good News Translation

^11-16Huram also made pots, shovels, and bowls. He completed all the objects that he had promised King Solomon he would make for the Temple:

    The two columns
    The two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns
    The design of interwoven chains on each capital
    The 400 bronze pomegranates arranged in two rows around the design of each capital
    The ten^[a] carts
    The ten basins
    The tank
    The twelve bulls supporting the tank
    The pots, shovels, and forks

Huram the master metalworker made all these objects^[b] out of polished bronze, as King Solomon had commanded, for use in the Temple of the Lord.

¹⁷The king had them all made in the foundry between Sukkoth and Zeredah^[c] in the Jordan Valley. ¹⁸So many objects were made that no one determined the total weight of the bronze used.

¹⁹King Solomon also had gold furnishings made for the Temple: the altar and the tables for the bread offered to God; ²⁰the lampstands and the lamps of fine gold that were to burn in front of the Most Holy Place, according to plan; ²¹the flower decorations, the lamps, and the tongs; ²²the lamp snuffers, the bowls, the dishes for incense, and the pans used for carrying live coals. All these objects were made of pure gold. The outer doors of the Temple and the doors to the Most Holy Place were overlaid with gold.

5 ^(A)When King Solomon finished all the work on the Temple, he placed in the Temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to the Lord—the silver, gold, and other articles.
