Jeremiah 52:17-20
Now the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars for the Lord’s temple and the water carts and the bronze reservoir that were in the Lord’s temple, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.They took the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, dishes, and all the bronze articles used in the temple service.The commander of the guards took away the bowls, firepans, sprinkling basins, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls— whatever was gold or silver.As for the two pillars, the one reservoir, and the 12 bronze bulls under the water carts that King Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.

1 Kings 7 23-1 Kings 7 45
He made the cast metal reservoir, 15 feet from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 7 1/2 feet high and 45 feet in circumference.Ornamental gourds encircled it below the brim, 10 every half yard, completely encircling the reservoir. The gourds were cast in two rows when the reservoir was cast.It stood on 12 oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The reservoir was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center.The reservoir was three inches thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or of a lily blossom. It held 11,000 gallons.Then he made 10 bronze water carts. Each water cart was six feet long, six feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet high.This was the design of the carts: They had frames; the frames were between the cross-pieces,and on the frames between the cross-pieces were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the cross-pieces there was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Underneath the four corners of the basin were cast supports, each next to a wreath.And the water cart’s opening inside the crown on top was 18 inches wide. The opening was round, made as a pedestal 27 inches wide. On it were carvings, but their frames were square, not round.There were four wheels under the frames, and the wheel axles were part of the water cart; each wheel was 27 inches tall.The wheels’ design was similar to that of chariot wheels: their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.Four supports were at the four corners of each water cart; each support was one piece with the water cart.At the top of the cart was a band nine inches high encircling it; also, at the top of the cart, its braces and its frames were one piece with it.He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its braces and on its frames, wherever each had space, with encircling wreaths.In this way he made the 10 water carts using the same casting, dimensions, and shape for all of them.Then he made 10 bronze basins— each basin holding 220 gallons and each was six feet wide— one basin for each of the 10 water carts.He set five water carts on the right side of the temple and five on the left side. He put the reservoir near the right side of the temple toward the southeast.Then Hiram made the basins, the shovels, and the sprinkling basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he was doing for King Solomon on the Lord’s temple:two pillars; bowls for the capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars;the 400 pomegranates for the two gratings( two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars);the 10 water carts; the 10 basins on the water carts;the reservoir; the 12 oxen underneath the reservoir;and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling basins. All the utensils that Hiram made for King Solomon at the Lord’s temple were made of burnished bronze.

Jeremiah 27:19-22
For this is what the Lord of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the water carts, and the rest of the articles that still remain in this city,those Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he deported Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.Yes, this is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the temple of the Lord, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:‘ They will be brought to Babylon and will remain there until I attend to them again.’ This is the Lord’s declaration.‘ Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’”

2 Chronicles 4 2-2 Chronicles 4 6
Then he made the cast metal reservoir, 15 feet from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 7 1/2 feet high and 45 feet in circumference.The likeness of oxen was below it, completely encircling it, 10 every half yard, completely surrounding the reservoir. The oxen were cast in two rows when the reservoir was cast.It stood on 12 oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The reservoir was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center.The reservoir was three inches thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily blossom. It could hold 11,000 gallons.He made 10 basins for washing and he put five on the right and five on the left. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the reservoir was used by the priests for washing.
