2Ch 4:12the two pillars and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars;

2Ch 4:15

2Ch 4:15one Sea and twelve oxen under it;

2Ch 4:20the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary,

2Ch 4:21

2Ch 4:21with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold;

2Ch 4:22
