1 Kings 7:40–51

⁴⁰Hiram also made the basins and the shovels and the bowls for drinking wine; and so Hiram finished doing all of the work that he was to doⁱ for King Solomon in the house of Yahweh: ⁴¹the two pillars and the bowls of the capitals which were atop the two pillars, and the two lattice works to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were atop the pillars; ⁴²and the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the two lattice works, the two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the surface of the pillars; ⁴³and the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands; ⁴⁴and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; ⁴⁵and the pots, the shovels, and the bowls for drinking wine. All the vessels of the tent which Hiram had made for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh were polished bronze. ⁴⁶The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan with the casting mold set in the ground between Succoth and Zarethan. ⁴⁷Solomon left all of the vessels unweighed because of their very great abundance, so the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

⁴⁸Solomon also made all of the vessels which were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the presence; ⁴⁹as well as the five lampstands of beaten gold at the south and five lampstands at the north before the presence of the inner sanctuary, with the flower-shaped ornaments, the lamps, and the pair of tongs all of gold. ⁵⁰The cups, the snuffers, the bowls for drinking wine, the bowls for the incense, and the firepans were made from beaten gold; the facades for the doors of the inner house, for the most holy place,^j for the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold. ⁵¹When all of the work which king Solomon did on the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought out the holy objects of his father David, the silver and the gold and the vessels, which he put in the treasury rooms of the house of Yahweh.
