1 Kings 7:45

HiramSolomon

43 the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;

44 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.

46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
