Midrash for I Kings 7:46

בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בְּמַעֲבֵ֖ה הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכּ֖וֹת וּבֵ֥ין צָרְתָֽן׃

In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Sifrei Devarim

["and the plain": We are hereby taught that He showed him the overturning of Sodom and Amorah, (it being written here "and the plain," and elsewhere, (Bereshith 19:25) "And He overturned those cities and the entire plain.")] Variantly: We are hereby taught that He showed him Solomon the son of David fashioning vessels for the Temple, it being written (I Kings 7:46) "In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them."
