48 Solomon also made all the furniture that was in the house of the Lord: (A)the golden altar and the golden table on which was set the (B)bread of the Presence; 49 and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary; and (C)the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50 also the cups, the [a]shears, the bowls, the ladles, and the (D)firepans, 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, that is, for the main room, of gold.

51 (E)So all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the Lord was finished. And (F)Solomon brought in the offerings vowed by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
