1 Kings 7:40-47 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

40. Huram also made bowls, shovels and small bowls.So Huram finished making everything King Solomon wanted him to make. Here is a list of what Huram made for the Temple of the Lord:

41. two pillars;two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars;two nets to cover the two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars;

42. 400 pomegranates for the two nets (there were two rows of pomegranates for each net covering the bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars);

43. ten stands with a bowl on each stand;

44. the large bowl with 12 bulls under it;

45. the pots, shovels, small bowls and all the dishes for the Temple of the Lord.Huram made everything King Solomon wanted. They were all made from polished bronze.

46. The king ordered these things to be made near the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan. They were made by melting and pouring bronze into clay molds.

47. Solomon never weighed the bronze used to make these things. There was too much to weigh. So the total weight of all the bronze was never known.
