1 Kings 7:40–51

⁴⁰Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord: ⁴¹the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars;^{* 42}the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;^{* 43}the ten stands, the ten basins on the stands; ⁴⁴the one sea and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.^*

⁴⁵The pots, the shovels, and the basins—all these vessels that Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze.^{* 46}In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.^{* 47}Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because there were so many of them; the weight of the bronze was not determined.

⁴⁸So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the Lord: the golden altar, the golden table for the bread of the Presence,^{* 49}the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, in front of the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;^{* 50}the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the main hall of the temple, of gold.

⁵¹Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the Lord was finished. Solomon brought in the things that his father David had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.^*
