1 Kings 7:28-37 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

28. The stands were made from square sides, which were put on frames.

29. On the sides were bronze lions, bulls and creatures with wings. On the frames above and below the lions and bulls there were designs of flowers hammered into the bronze.

30. Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the corners there were bronze supports for a large bowl. The supports had designs of flowers.

31. There was a frame on top of the bowls. It was 18 inches high above the bowls. The opening of the bowl was round, 27 inches deep. There were designs carved into the bronze on the frame. The frame was square, not round.

32. The four wheels were under the frame. They were 27 inches high. The axles between the wheels were made as one piece with the stand.

33. The wheels were like a chariot’s wheels. Everything on the wheels was made of bronze. The axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made of bronze.

34. The four supports were on the four corners of each stand. They were made as one piece with the stand.

35. There was a strip of bronze around the top of each stand. It was 9 inches deep. It was made as one piece with the stand.

36. The sides of the stand and the frames were totally covered with carvings. They were carved with pictures of creatures with wings, lions and palm trees. There were also flowers carved all around.

37. So this is the way Huram made the ten stands. The bronze for each stand was melted and poured into a mold. So all of the stands were the same size and shape.
