Context of 1 Chronicles 28:16

14He told Solomon the weight of gold and the weight of silver that he must use to make some of those special things. 15That 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. It included the weight of gold to make the special table where the priests would put the special bread.

There was also the weight of silver for each of the silver bowls. 18And there was the weight of pure gold for the altar to burn incense. David also gave Solomon the plan for the gold images of cherubs for the Lord's Covenant Box. They would have wings that touched each other above the lid of the Covenant Box. They would be like a chariot for the Lord.
