2 Chronicles 4:16

HiramSolomon

14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;

15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
