Context of 1 Chronicles 28:15

13David gave Solomon the rules for the work of the priests and Levites. He gave him a list of the different kinds of work that each group must do in the Lord's temple. He also gave him a list of the special things that were used to serve the Lord in the temple. 14He told Solomon the weight of gold and the weight of silver that he must use to make some of those special things. That included the weight of gold for the lampstands and for their lamps. It also included the weight of silver for the silver lampstands and for their lamps. Each lampstand was different because they would use it for a different purpose. 16It included the weight of gold to make the special table where the priests would put the special bread. And it included the weight of silver to make the silver tables. 17It also included the weight of pure gold to make the forks, dishes, cups and small bowls. Each gold bowl had its own weight. There was also the weight of silver for each of the silver bowls.
