1 Kings 7:40–51

Furnishings of the Temple

^40pHuram ³made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the Lord: ⁴¹the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two ^qnetworks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; ^42rfour hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars); ⁴³the ten carts, and ten lavers on the carts; ⁴⁴one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; ^45sthe pots, the shovels, and the bowls.

All these articles which ⁴Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze. ^46tIn the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between ^uSuccoth and ^vZaretan. ⁴⁷And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not ^wdetermined.

⁴⁸Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the Lord: ^xthe altar of gold, and ^ythe table of gold on which was ^zthe showbread; ⁴⁹the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold; ⁵⁰the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the ⁵censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

⁵¹So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things ^awhich his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
