2 Chronicles 4:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

21 the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;

22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.
