Context of 2 Chronicles 4:20

18Solomon did not weigh any of these things, because there were so many of them. No one ever knew the weight of the bronze. 19Solomon's workers also made all these things for God's temple: the gold altar; the tables which had the special bread on them; the pure gold lampstands with their lamps (the plans showed how the lamps had to burn at the entrance of the Most Holy Place); 21the gold images of flowers; the lamps; the small tools that held things for the altar; 22the small tools of pure gold 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.
