Furnishings of the Temple(A)
40 (B)Huram[a] made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the Lord: 41 the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two (C)networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; 42 (D)four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars); 43 the ten carts, and ten lavers on the carts; 44 one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; 45 (E)the pots, the shovels, and the bowls.
All these articles which [b]Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 (F)In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between (G)Succoth and (H)Zaretan. 47 And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not (I)determined.
48 Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the Lord: (J)the altar of gold, and (K)the table of gold on which was (L)the 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 the [c]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 (M)which 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.

1 Kings 7:40-51
New International Version
40 He also made the pots[a] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.(A)
So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 the two pillars;
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals(B) on top of the pillars);
43 the ten stands with their ten basins;
44 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
45 the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.(C)
All these objects that Huram(D) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain(E) of the Jordan between Sukkoth(F) and Zarethan.(G) 47 Solomon left all these things unweighed,(H) because there were so many;(I) the weight of the bronze(J) was not determined.
48 Solomon also made all(K) the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:
the golden altar;
the golden table(L) on which was the bread of the Presence;(M)
49 the lampstands(N) of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary);
the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;
50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(O) and censers;(P)
and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(Q)—the silver and gold and the furnishings(R)—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
