1 Kings 7:40-51

40And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of Yhwh:1 41The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 42And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;2 43And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of Yhwh, were of bright brass.3 46In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.4 47And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.56 48And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of Yhwh: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was, 49And the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 50And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.7 51So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of Yhwh. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of Yhwh.8
