So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of the LORD: <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished bronze. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/7-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>Thus all the work that Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
