2 Chronicles 4:10-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.

11. Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,

12. that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,

13. and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.

14. He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;

15. one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

16. and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.

17. The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.

18. Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.

19. And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;

20. and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;

21. and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
