The wheels were constructed like chariot wheels; their crossbars, rims, spokes, and hubs were made of cast metal.

The king had them cast in earth foundries in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

Under the rim all the way around it were round ornaments arranged in settings 15 feet long. The ornaments were in two rows and had been cast with “The Sea.”

While the battle raged throughout the day, the king stood propped up in his chariot opposite the Syrians. He died in the evening; the blood from the wound ran down into the bottom of the chariot.

He made two bronze tops for the pillars; each was seven-and-a-half feet high.

He arranged the wood, cut up the bull, and placed it on the wood.
