1 Kings 7:40–51

⁴⁰Then Hiram made ^mthe basins, the shovels, and the sprinkling basins.

Completion of the Bronze Works

So Hiram finished all the work that he was doing for King Solomon on the Lord’s temple: ⁴¹two pillars; ⁿbowls for the capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars; ^o42the 400 pomegranates for the two gratings (two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars ^p); ⁴³the 10 water carts; ^qthe 10 basins on the water carts; ^r44the reservoir; ^sthe 12 oxen underneath the reservoir; ^t45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling basins. ^uAll the utensils that Hiram made for King Solomon at the Lord’s temple were made of burnished bronze. ⁴⁶The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth ^vand Zarethan. ^w47Solomon left all the utensils unweighed because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined. ^x

Completion of the Gold Furnishings

⁴⁸Solomon also made all the equipment in the Lord’s temple: the gold altar; the gold table that the bread of the Presence was placed on; ^y49the pure gold lampstands in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left; ^zthe gold flowers, lamps, and tongs; ⁵⁰the pure gold ceremonial bowls, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, ladles, ^aand firepans; ^band the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the most holy place) and for the doors of the temple sanctuary.

⁵¹So all the work King Solomon did in the Lord’s temple was completed. ^cThen Solomon brought in the consecrated things of his father David ^d—the silver, the gold, and the utensils—and put them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple. ^e
