pure brass.

And in the coasts of Jordan the king cast them in thick earth, between Shukhoth and Zaredathah.

And Solomon made a great number of all these vessels, so that the weight of the brass was not to be searched out.

And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of God, the golden altar, and the table, and the shewbread thereon,

The candlesticks with their lamps of pure gold, to burn before the choir, as they ought; 21. And the flowers by the lamps, and the snows, were golden; all this was utter gold; 22. And the knives, and the basons, and the spoons, and the bowls, were all gold. And the door of the inner door of the holy of holies, and the door of the house of the temple, were of gold.
Ch. 5, v. 1: Thus was all the work accomplished, which Solomon did in the house of the LORD.
(2 Chronicles)
Chapter 5
Dedication of the temple started.
And Solomon brought in all that David his father had hallowed, silver, and gold, and all manner of vessels, and put them in the treasury of the house of God.

Then Solomon gathered all the elders of Israel, all the captains of the tribes, and the princes 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.

And all the men of Israel were gathered together unto the king at the feast, that is, in the seventh month.

And all the elders of Israel came. And the Levites lifted up the ark 5. And they brought them up, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, and brought up the priests the Levites with them.

But king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were gathered unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, so much that no man could count nor reckon.

So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD into their place, into the choir of
the house, into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubims, 8. And the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark: and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof from above.

And the staves were so long, that the knobs thereof were seen from the ark that was before the choir; but they were not seen without. And it was there unto this day.

And there was nothing in the ark, save the two tables which Moses put therein in Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

And when the priests were gone out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present sanctified themselves, that even the ordinances were not kept),

And the Levites with all that were under Assaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, and their children, and their brethren, clothed in linen, and singing with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, stood toward the east of the altar: and with them an hundred and twenty priests blowing with trumpets.

And it was as if one sounded with a trumpet, and sang, as if one heard a voice, praising and thanking the LORD. And when the voice was lifted up with the trumpets, and with the cymbals, and with other instruments, and with the praises of the LORD, that he is good, and that his mercy endureth for ever, the house of the LORD was filled with a cloud, 14. That the priests could not stand to minister before the cloud: for the glory of the LORD filled the house of GOD.
(2 Chronicles)
Chapter 6
Dedication of the temple continued.

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath spoken to dwell in darkness.

For I have built thee an house for thy dwelling, and a tabernacle for thy everlasting habitation.

And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: for all the congregation of Israel stood.

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake by his mouth unto David my father, and filled it with his hand, saying:

Since the time that I brought my people up out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in all the tribes of Israel to build an house for my name, neither have I chosen a man to be ruler over my people Israel;

But Jerusalem have I chosen, that my name should be there; and David have I chosen, that he should be over my people Israel.

And it was in the mind of David my father to build an house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel,

And the LORD said unto David my father, Thou hast done well to think to build an house for my name.

Yet thou shalt not build the house: but thy son, which shall come out of thy loins, shall build the house for my name.

Now therefore the LORD hath confirmed his word which he spake: for I am risen up in the stead of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the LORD spake, and have built an house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel,

And I have put therein the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with the children of Israel.

And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the sight of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands.

For Solomon had made a pulpit of brass, and set it in the midst of the bars, five cubits long and broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it, and bowed himself on his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and stretched forth his hands toward heaven.

And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like unto thee, in heaven, or in earth; who keepest covenant and mercy unto thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart.

Thou hast kept that which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father; with thy mouth hast thou spoken it, and with thine hand hast thou performed it, as it is this day.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep unto thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken unto him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man before me to sit on the throne of Israel: but if thy children keep their way, to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word come to pass, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

For thinkest thou that God dwelleth with men upon the earth? Behold, the heavens and all the heavens cannot provide for thee: how then shall the house which I have built?

But turn, O LORD my God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, that thou mayest hear the supplication and the prayer which thy servant maketh before thee, 20. That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place where thou hast spoken thy name to set it; that thou mayest hear the prayer which thy servant shall make in this place.

Hear therefore the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make in this place: hear thou it from the place of thy dwelling from heaven, and when thou hearest it, be gracious.

If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him, which he shall swear: and the oath shall be before thine altar in this house,

Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice unto thy servant, to recompense the wicked, and to give his way upon his head, and to justify the righteous, and to give him according to his righteousness.

When thy people Israel are smitten before their enemies, because they have sinned against thee, and are converted, and confess thy name, pray and make supplication before thee in this house,

Then hear thou from heaven, and be merciful to the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again into the land which thou gavest them and their fathers.

When the heaven is shut up, that it rain not, because they have sinned against thee, and pray in this place, confessing thy name, and turning from their sins, because thou hast humbled them,

Then hear thou in heaven, and be merciful to the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, to teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and to rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people to possess.

If there be a famine in the land, or pestilence, or drought, or blight, or locusts, or caterpillars; or if his enemy besiege his gates in the land, or any plague or disease: 29. Then whosoever shall ask or make supplication among all men, and among all thy people Israel, if any man feel his affliction or his pain, and spread out his hands unto this house, 30. Then hear thou from heaven, from thy dwelling place, and be gracious, and give to every man according to all his ways, by which thou knowest his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of the children of men),

That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

Though a stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country for thy great name, and for thy mighty hand, and for thine outstretched arm, and pray unto this house, 33. Then hear thou from heaven,
