11He also made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished the work he had started for King Solomon. Here’s what he made for God’s temple.

12He made the two pillars.

He made the two tops for the pillars. The tops were shaped like bowls.

He made the two sets of chains that were linked together. They decorated the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.

13He made the 400 pomegranates for the two sets of chains. There were two rows of pomegranates for each chain. They decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.

14He made the stands and their bowls.

15He made the huge bowl. He made the 12 bulls that were under it.

16He made the pots, shovels and meat forks. He also made all of the articles that were connected with them.

Huram-Abi made all of those objects for King Solomon for the Lord’s temple. He made them out of bronze. Then he shined them up. 17The king had them made in clay molds. It was done on the flatlands of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan.

18Solomon made huge numbers of those articles. There were too many of them to weigh. No one even tried to weigh the bronze they were made out of.

19Solomon also made all of the articles that were in God’s temple.

He made the golden altar.

He made the tables for the holy bread.

20He made the pure gold lampstands and their lamps. The lamps burned in front of the Most Holy Room, just as the law required.

21He made the gold flowers. He made the gold lamps and tongs. They were made out of solid gold.

22He made the wick cutters, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and shallow cups for burning incense. All of them were made out of pure gold. He made the gold doors of the temple. They were the inner doors to the Most Holy Room and the doors of the main hall.

5Solomon finished all of the work for the Lord’s temple. Then he brought in the things his father David had set apart for the Lord. They included the silver and gold and all of the articles for God’s temple. Solomon placed them with the other treasures that were there.
