1 Kings 7:40-50

40Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the 1two pillars, and the two lattices to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 42and the 2four hundred pomegranates for the two lattices, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; 43and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; 44and 3the one 4Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea; 45and 5the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze. 466The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between 7Succoth and 8Zarethan. 47However, Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; 9the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

48Solomon also made all the furniture that was in the house of the Lord: 10the golden altar and the golden table on which was set the 11bread of the Presence; 49and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary; and 12the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50also the cups, the 13shears, the bowls, the ladles, and the 14firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the house, that is, for the main room, of gold.
