1 Kings 7:45-47-51 The Message (MSG)

45-47. All these artifacts that Hiram made for King Solomon for The Temple of God were of burnished bronze. He cast them in clay in a foundry on the Jordan plain between Succoth and Zarethan. These artifacts were never weighed—there were far too many! Nobody has any idea how much bronze was used.

48-50. Solomon was also responsible for all the furniture and accessories in The Temple of God:the gold Altar;the gold Table that held the Bread of the Presence;the pure gold candelabras, five to the right and five to theleft in front of the Inner Sanctuary;the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;the pure gold dishes, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, andcensers;the gold sockets for the doors of the Inner Sanctuary, the Holy ofHolies, used also for the doors of the Main Sanctuary.

51. That completed all the work King Solomon did on The Temple of God. He then brought in the items consecrated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the artifacts. He placed them all in the treasury of God’s Temple.
