1 Kings 7:41-51

41 the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the ¹two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

42 and the ²four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;

43 and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands;

44 and ³the one sea and the twelve * oxen under the sea;

45 and ⁴the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

46 ⁵In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between ⁶Succoth and ⁷Zarethan.

47 Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; ⁸the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

48 Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: ⁹the golden altar and the golden table on which was the ¹⁰bread of the Presence;

49 and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and ¹¹the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold;

50 and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the ¹²firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold.

51 ¹³Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished. And ¹⁴Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
