1 Kings 7:44-51

44 1 pool, 12 bulls under the pool,
45 pots, shovels, and bowls. Hiram made all these utensils out of polished bronze for the LORD's temple at King Solomon's request.
46 The king cast them in foundries in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomon left all the products unweighed because so much bronze was used. No one tried to determine how much the bronze weighed.
48 Solomon made all the furnishings for the LORD's temple: the gold altar, the gold table on which the bread of the presence was placed,
49 lamp stands of pure gold (five on the south side and five on the north in front of the inner room), flowers, lamps, gold tongs,
50 dishes, snuffers, bowls, saucers, incense burners of pure gold, the gold sockets for the doors of the inner [room] (the most holy place), and the doors of the temple.
51 All the work King Solomon did on the LORD's temple was finished. He brought the holy things that had belonged to his father David--the silver, gold, and utensils--and put them in the storerooms of the LORD's temple.
