1 Kings 7:46-51

46 The king had these things poured into clay molds that were made in the plain of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Solomon never weighed the bronze used to make these things, because there was too much to weigh. So the total weight of all the bronze was never known.

48 Solomon also made all the items for the Temple of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table which held the bread that shows God's people are in his presence;

49 the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right side and five on the left side in front of the Most Holy Place); the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold;

50 the pure gold bowls, wick trimmers, small bowls, pans, and dishes used to carry coals; the gold hinges for the doors of the Most Holy Place and the main room of the Temple.

51 Finally the work King Solomon did for the Temple of the Lord was finished. Solomon brought in everything his father David had set apart for the Temple -- silver, gold, and other articles. He put everything in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
