As for the two pillars, the one reservoir, and the 12 bronze bulls under the water carts that King Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.

We have set up and consecrated all the utensils that King Ahaz rejected during his reign when he became unfaithful. They are in front of the altar of the Lord.”

He also made the water carts and the basins on the water carts.The one reservoir and the 12 oxen underneath it,

Then Ahaz gathered up the utensils of God’s temple, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the Lord’s temple, and made himself altars on every street corner in Jerusalem.

Now the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars of the Lord’s temple, the water carts, and the bronze reservoir, which were in the Lord’s temple, and carried the bronze to Babylon.They also took the pots, the shovels, the wick trimmers, the dishes, and all the bronze articles used in temple service.The commander of the guards took away the firepans and the sprinkling basins— whatever was gold or silver.As for the two pillars, the one reservoir, and the water carts that Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.

He made the cast metal reservoir, 15 feet from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 7 1/2 feet high and 45 feet in circumference.Ornamental gourds encircled it below the brim, 10 every half yard, completely encircling the reservoir. The gourds were cast in two rows when the reservoir was cast.It stood on 12 oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The reservoir was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center.The reservoir was three inches thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or of a lily blossom. It held 11,000 gallons.Then he made 10 bronze water carts. Each water cart was six feet long, six feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet high.This was the design of the carts: They had frames; the frames were between the cross-pieces,and on the frames between the cross-pieces were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the cross-pieces there was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Underneath the four corners of the basin were cast supports, each next to a wreath.And the water cart’s opening inside the crown on top was 18 inches wide. The opening was round, made as a pedestal 27 inches wide. On it were carvings, but their frames were square, not round.There were four wheels under the frames, and the wheel axles were part of the water cart; each wheel was 27 inches tall.The wheels’ design was similar to that of chariot wheels: their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.Four supports were at the four corners of each water cart; each support was one piece with the water cart.At the top of the cart was a band nine inches high encircling it; also, at the top of the cart, its braces and its frames were one piece with it.He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its braces and on its frames, wherever each had space, with encircling wreaths.In this way he made the 10 water carts using the same casting, dimensions, and shape for all of them.Then he made 10 bronze basins— each basin holding 220 gallons and each was six feet wide— one basin for each of the 10 water carts.He set five water carts on the right side of the temple and five on the left side. He put the reservoir near the right side of the temple toward the southeast.
