Second Chronicles Chapter 4
1 He made an altar of bronze. 20 cubits was the length of it, and 20 cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.
2 He cast a sea of melted bronze, ten cubits from brim to brim. It was round, and five cubits was its height. And a line of 30 cubits went around it.
3 Under it was the shape of oxen, under it and all around it for ten cubits, going all around the sea. Two rows of oxen were cast when it was cast.
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing the west, three facing the south, and three facing the east. The sea was set above on them and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 Its thickness was a hand width. Its brim like the work of the brim of a cup with flowers of lilies. It received and held 3,000 baths.
6 He also made ten lavers and put five on the right hand and five on the left to wash in them. In them, they washed such things as they offered for the burnt offering. But the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 He made ten lampstands of gold according to their form and set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.
8 He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. He made 100 basins of gold.
9 He made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 He set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
11 Hiram made the pots and shovels, and basins. He finished the work that he was to make for King Solomon for the house of God.
12 The two pillars and the bowls and the capitals on the tops of the two pillars and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars.
13 Also 400 pomegranates on the two wreaths, two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two bowls of the capitals on the pillars.
14 He also made bases and he made lavers on the bases.
15 One sea and twelve oxen under it.
16 Hiram made the pots, the shovels, the flesh hooks, and all their vessels of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.
17 In the plain of Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance. For the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
19 Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God and the golden altar and the tables on which the showbread was set.
20 He made lampstands of pure gold with their lamps so that they would burn according to the law before the holy place.
21 He made the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of perfect gold.
22 He made snuffers, basins, spoons, and censers of pure gold. He made the entrance to the house, the inner doors for the Holy of Holies and the doors of the house of the temple of gold.
