17 The king had them cast in the neighborhood of the Jordan, between Succoth and Zeredah, in thick clay molds.
18 Solomon made all these vessels, so many in number that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
19 Solomon made all the articles that were for the house of God: the golden altar, the tables on which the showbread lay,
20 the menorahs and their lamps of pure gold which were to burn as prescribed before the inner sanctuary,
21 flowers, lamps, and gold tongs (this was of purest gold),
22 snuffers, bowls, cups, and firepans of pure gold. As for the entrance to the house, its inner doors to the holy of holies, as well as the doors to the nave of the temple, were of gold.
