From Tebah and Kun, towns that belonged to Hadadezer, David took a great quantity of bronze, which Solomon used to make the bronze Sea, the pillars and various bronze articles.

He took a huge amount of bronze from Tebah and Kun. Those towns belonged to Hadadezer. Later, Solomon used the bronze to make the huge bronze bowl for washing. He also used it to make the pillars and many other bronze objects for the temple.

And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze. With it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.

From Tibhath and Cun, Hadadezer’s cities, David also took huge quantities of bronze, from which Solomon made the bronze basin, the pillars, and the bronze articles.

Also from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a very large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea and the pillars and the bronze utensils.

Also from Tibhath and from Chun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and the articles of bronze.

And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

From Tibhath and Cun, Hadadezer’s cities, David also took huge quantities of bronze, from which Solomon made the bronze reservoir, the pillars, and the bronze articles.

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

From Tibhath and Kun, Hadadezer’s cities, David took a great deal of bronze.( Solomon used it to make the big bronze basin called“ The Sea,” the pillars, and other bronze items.

along with a large amount of bronze from Hadadezer’s towns of Tebah and Berothai.

the two pillars; the two bowl shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two networks of interwoven chains that decorated the capitals;the 400 pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals( two rows of pomegranates for each of the chain networks that decorated the capitals on top of the pillars);the water carts holding the basins;the Sea and the twelve oxen under it;the ash buckets, the shovels, the meat hooks, and all the related articles. Huram abi made all these things of burnished bronze for the Temple of the Lord, just as King Solomon had directed.The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.Solomon used such great quantities of bronze that its weight could not be determined.

Then he cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the Sea. It was 7 1/2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of figures that resembled oxen. There were about six oxen per foot all the way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.The Sea was placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east, and the Sea rested on them.The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 16,500 gallons of water.He also made ten smaller basins for washing the utensils for the burnt offerings. He set five on the south side and five on the north. But the priests washed themselves in the Sea.

The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars in front of the Lord’s Temple, the bronze water carts, and the great bronze basin called the Sea, and they carried all the bronze away to Babylon.They also took all the ash buckets, shovels, lamp snuffers, basins, dishes, and all the other bronze articles used for making sacrifices at the Temple.The captain of the guard also took the small bowls, incense burners, basins, pots, lampstands, ladles, bowls used for liquid offerings, and all the other articles made of pure gold or silver.The weight of the bronze from the two pillars, the Sea with the twelve bronze oxen beneath it, and the water carts was too great to be measured. These things had been made for the Lord’s Temple in the days of King Solomon.Each of the pillars was 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference. They were hollow, with walls 3 inches thick.The bronze capital on top of each pillar was 7 1/2 feet high and was decorated with a network of bronze pomegranates all the way around.There were 96 pomegranates on the sides, and a total of 100 pomegranates on the network around the top.

Huram cast two bronze pillars, each 27 feet tall and 18 feet in circumference.For the tops of the pillars he cast bronze capitals, each 7 1/2 feet tall.Each capital was decorated with seven sets of latticework and interwoven chains.He also encircled the latticework with two rows of pomegranates to decorate the capitals over the pillars.The capitals on the columns inside the entry room were shaped like water lilies, and they were six feet tall.The capitals on the two pillars had 200 pomegranates in two rows around them, beside the rounded surface next to the latticework.Huram set the pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one toward the south and one toward the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.The capitals on the pillars were shaped like water lilies. And so the work on the pillars was finished.Then Huram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the Sea. It was 7 1/2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot all the way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.The Sea was placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east, and the Sea rested on them.The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons of water.Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet tall.They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath decorations.Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. There were supporting posts for the bronze basins at the corners of the carts; these supports were decorated on each side with carvings of wreaths.The top of each cart had a rounded frame for the basin. It projected 1 1/2 feet above the cart’s top like a round pedestal, and its opening was 2 1/4 feet across; it was decorated on the outside with carvings of wreaths. The panels of the carts were square, not round.Under the panels were four wheels that were connected to axles that had been cast as one unit with the cart. The wheels were 2 1/4 feet in diameterand were similar to chariot wheels. The axles, spokes, rims, and hubs were all cast from molten bronze.There were handles at each of the four corners of the carts, and these, too, were cast as one unit with the cart.Around the top of each cart was a rim nine inches wide. The corner supports and side panels were cast as one unit with the cart.Carvings of cherubim, lions, and palm trees decorated the panels and corner supports wherever there was room, and there were wreaths all around.All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.Huram also made ten smaller bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and could hold 220 gallons of water.He set five water carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. The great bronze basin called the Sea was placed near the southeast corner of the Temple.He also made the necessary washbasins, shovels, and bowls. So at last Huram completed everything King Solomon had assigned him to make for the Temple of the Lord:the two pillars; the two bowl shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two networks of interwoven chains that decorated the capitals;the 400 pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals( two rows of pomegranates for each of the chain networks that decorated the capitals on top of the pillars);the ten water carts holding the ten basins;the Sea and the twelve oxen under it;the ash buckets, the shovels, and the bowls. Huram made all these things of burnished bronze for the Temple of the Lord, just as King Solomon had directed.The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.Solomon did not weigh all these things because there were so many; the weight of the bronze could not be measured.

“ I have worked hard to provide materials for building the Temple of the Lord— nearly 4,000 tons of gold, 40,000 tons of silver, and so much iron and bronze that it cannot be weighed. I have also gathered timber and stone for the walls, though you may need to add more.
