And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, Huram his father made for king Solomon for the house of Yahweh of bright bronze.

Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
