36. The supports and panels were decorated with figures of winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was space for them, with spiral figures all round.
37. This, then, is how the carts were made; they were all alike, having the same size and shape.
38. Huram also made ten basins, one for each cart. Each basin was 1.8 metres in diameter, and held about 800 litres.
39. He placed five of the carts on the south side of the Temple, and the other five on the north side; the tank he placed at the south-east corner.
40-45. Huram also made pots, shovels, and bowls. He completed all his work for King Solomon for the Lord's Temple. This is what he made:The two columnsThe two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columnsThe design of interwoven chains on each capitalThe 400 bronze pomegranates, in two rows of a hundred each round the design on each capitalThe ten cartsThe ten basinsThe tankThe twelve bulls supporting the tankThe pots, shovels, and bowlsAll this equipment for the Temple, which Huram made for King Solomon, was of polished bronze.
46. The king had it all made in the foundry between Sukkoth and Zarethan, in the Jordan Valley.
47. Solomon did not have these bronze objects weighed, because there were too many of them, and so their weight was never determined.
48. Solomon also had gold furnishings made for the Temple: the altar, the table for the bread offered to God,
49. the ten lampstands that stood in front of the Most Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north; the flowers, lamps, and tongs;
50. the cups, lamp snuffers, bowls, dishes for incense, and the pans used for carrying live coals; and the hinges for the doors of the Most Holy Place and of the outer doors of the Temple. All these furnishings were made of gold.
51. When King Solomon finished all the work on the Temple, he placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to the Lord — the silver, gold, and other articles.
