1 Kings 7:46-51

46 The king cast it in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Due to the very large number of objects, Solomon didn't even try to weigh the bronze.

48 Solomon also made all the equipment for the LORD's temple: the golden altar; the golden table for the bread of the presence;

49 the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold;

50 the cups, wick trimmers, bowls, ladles, and censers of pure gold; and the gold sockets for the doors to the most holy place and for the doors to the main hall.

51 When all King Solomon's work on the LORD's temple was finished, he brought the silver, gold, and all the objects his father David had dedicated and put them in the treasuries of the LORD's temple.
