New International Reader's Version

2 Chronicles 4:16-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. He 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.

17. The king had them made in clay molds. It was done on the flatlands of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan.

18. Solomon 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.

19. Solomon 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.

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

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