16

The qpots also, and the shovels, and the *fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of 9bright brass.

17

In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the 10clay ground between Succoth and rZeredathah.

18

Thus sSolomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

19

¶And tSolomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, uthe golden altar also, and vthe tables whereon the shewbread was set;

20

Moreover wthe candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the *manner before the oracle, of pure gold;

21

And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that 11perfect gold;

22

And the snuffers, and the 12basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
