Chapter 4 12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.16 The pots 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 bright brass.17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;20 Moreover the 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 perfect gold;22 And the snuffers, and the basons, 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.
Chapter 5 1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
