And Hiram finished doing all the work that he did for King Solomon in the house of YHWH: 41two pillars, and the globes of the capitals that were on the head of the pillars, two; and the two nets to cover the two globes of the capitals that were on the head of the pillars; 42and the four hundred pomegranates for the two nets, two rows of pomegranates for each net, to cover the two globes of the capitals that were on the pillars; 43and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases; 44and the one Sea, and the twelve oxen under the Sea; 45and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls.
