1 Kings 7:47 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 7:47

45 ^athe pots, the shovels, and the bowls. All these articles which¹ Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

46 ^aIn the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between ^bSuccoth and ^cZaretan.

47 And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not ^adetermined.

48 Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the Lord: ^athe altar of gold, and ^bthe table of gold on which was ^cthe showbread;

49 the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold;

50 the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the¹ censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51 So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things ^awhich his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
