So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: / The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; / And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; / And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; / And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; / And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.”
