1 Kings 7:37-47

37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38 He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on very one of the ten bases one basin.
39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
40 Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Shlomo in the house of the LORD:
41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
42 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;
43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Shlomo, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
46 In the plain of the Yarden did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Sukkot and Tzaretan.
47 Shlomo left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
