and graved thereon Cherubs, Palm trees and flowers, and covered them with gold made plain by a ruler.

And under the stalk of the laver in the midst of the bottom was there a round foot of half a cubit high. And thereon, plain places and ledges of the self.

And he graved in the plain and also on the ledges, Cherubs, lions and palm trees, everywhere round about.

And in the plain of Jordan did the king cast them: even in the clay of the earth between Succoth and Zarethan.

Then said the servants of the kings of Syria to him, "The gods of the hills are their gods, and therefore they had the better of us. But let us fight with them in the plain, and for what ye will, we shall have the better of them.

And do thou number thee a host, like the host that thou hast lost, and horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and let us fight with them in the plain; and for a wager, we get the better of them." And the king hearkened unto their voice and did even so.
