1 Kings 7:24

24 All around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of bronze gourds, which had been cast all in one piece with the rest of the tank.

1 Kings 7:24 In-Context

22 The lily-shaped bronze capitals were on top of the columns. And so the work on the columns was completed.
23 Huram made a round tank of bronze, 7 1/2 feet deep, 15 feet in diameter, and 45 feet in circumference.
24 All around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of bronze gourds, which had been cast all in one piece with the rest of the tank.
25 The tank rested on the backs of twelve bronze bulls that faced outward, three facing in each direction.
26 The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, curving outward like the petals of a lily. The tank held about 10,000 gallons.
