2 Chronicles 4:16

HiramSolomon

14 the stands; the basins on the stands;

15 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

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

18 Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
