8 He also made ten tables and placed them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left side. He also constructed 100 gold basins.

9 He made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, overlaying their doors with bronze.

10 He set the sea at the southeast corner of the Temple.

11 Hiram-abi crafted the pots, shovels, and basins, thus completing the work that he did for King Solomon on the Temple of God;

12 that is, the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals on top of the pillars, the two lattice works that covered the two bowls for the capitals that were on top of the pillars;

13 the 400 pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the latticework of the two pillars (each latticework having two rows of ornaments at the bowl-shaped top of each pillar);

14 the ten stands with their ten basins;

15 the large bronze basin called the Sea with the twelve oxen underneath,

16 along with its pots, shovels, forks, and all of its other implements that Hiram-abi made from polished bronze for King Solomon and the LORD's Temple.

17 The king had them forged in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah in the Jordan plain.

18 Solomon made so many utensils in such great quantities that the weight of the bronze was never fully recorded.

19 Solomon also made these items for God's Temple: the golden altar, the tables for the Bread of the Presence,

20 the lamp stands and their lamps made of pure gold to burn in front of the inner sanctuary, as required,

21 the pure gold ornaments in the shape of flowers, the lamps, and the tongs (all made of the purest gold),

22 the gold trimming instruments, basins, pans, censers, and the gold door sockets for the inner sanctuary (that is, the Most Holy Place), and for the doors to the main hall of the Temple.
