Context of 1 Kings 7:48

46The king told his workers to pour the hot bronze into shapes in the ground. They did that at a special place in the region of the Jordan Valley, between Succoth and Zarethan. 47Solomon did not weigh any of these things, because there were so many of them. No one ever knew the weight of the bronze. Solomon also made all these things for the Lord's temple: The gold altar. The gold table which had the special bread on it. 49The pure gold lampstands. There were five lampstands on one side of the door to the Most Holy Place and five on the other side. The gold images of flowers. The lamps. The small tools that held things for the altar. 50The pure gold bowls. The small tools that they used for the lamps. The bowls for water. The dishes for ashes. The baskets that carried hot coals. The gold pieces that held the doors of the Most Holy Place. The gold pieces that held the doors of the temple's big hall.
