1 Kings 7:1-51
1 And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house and he finished all his house.
2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon. The length of it was a hundred cubits and the breadth of it fifty cubits and the height of it thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were upon the pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were beams in three rows and window was opposite window in three ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts were made square with beams and window was opposite window in three ranks.
6 And he made the porch of pillars. The length of it was fifty cubits and the breadth of it thirty cubits and a porch in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them. 7 And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment. And it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 8 And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch was of the like work. He also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as a wife), like this porch.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping and so on the outside to the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure and cedar-wood. 12 And the great court all around had three courses of hewn stone and a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the house of Jehovah and the porch of the house.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali and his father was a man of Tyre, a workman in brass. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon and worked all his work.
15 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece. And a line of twelve cubits encompassed each of them around. 16 And he made two capitals of molten brass to set upon the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 There were nets of checker-work and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. 18 So he made the pillars. And there were two rows all around upon the one lattice-work to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars. And so he did for the other capital. 19 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 And there were capitals also above upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the lattice-work. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows all around upon the other capital.
21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar and called the name of it Jachin and he set up the left pillar and called the name of it Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass and the height of it was five cubits. And a line of thirty cubits encompassed it all around. 24 And under the brim of it all around there were gourds which encompassed it, for ten cubits, encompassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north and three looking toward the west and three looking toward the south and three looking toward the east. And the sea was set upon them above and all their hinder parts were inward. 26 And it was a handbreadth thick. And the brim of it was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths. 27 And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base and four cubits the breadth of it and three cubits the height of it. 28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: They had panels and there were panels between the ledges. 29 And on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen and cherubim. And upon the ledges there was a pedestal above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
30 And every base had four brazen wheels and axles of brass. And the four corners of it had supports. Beneath the large-basin were the molten supports with wreaths at the side of each. 31 And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit. And the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half. And also upon the mouth of it were engravings. And their panels were square, not round.
32 And the four wheels were underneath the panels. And the spokes of the wheels were in the base. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axle and their rims and their spokes and their hubs, were all molten.
34 And there were four supports at the four corners of each base. The supports of it were of the base itself. 35 And in the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high. And on the top of the base the ledges of it and the panels of it were of the same. 36 And on the plates of the ledges of it and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. 38 And he made ten basins of brass. One basin contained forty baths. And every basin was four cubits. And upon every one of the ten bases one basin. 39 And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
40 And Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:
41 the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars and the two lattice-works to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, 42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two lattice-works, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice-work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars, 43 and the ten bases and the ten basins on the bases, 44 and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea, 45 and the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah were of burnished brass.
46 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were very many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar and the table upon it the showbread was, of gold; 49 and the lamp-stands, five on the right side and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; 50 and the cups and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censors, 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, namely, of the temple, of gold.
51 Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Jehovah was finished. And 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 Jehovah.
6 And he made the porch of pillars. The length of it was fifty cubits and the breadth of it thirty cubits and a porch in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them. 7 And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment. And it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 8 And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch was of the like work. He also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as a wife), like this porch.
9 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping and so on the outside to the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure and cedar-wood. 12 And the great court all around had three courses of hewn stone and a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the house of Jehovah and the porch of the house.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali and his father was a man of Tyre, a workman in brass.

The height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 There were nets of checker-work and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. 18 So he made the pillars. And there were two rows all around upon the one lattice-work to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars. And so he did for the other capital. 19 And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits. 20 And there were capitals also above upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the lattice-work. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows all around upon the other capital.
21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar and called the name of it Jachin and he set up the left pillar and called the name of it Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
40 And Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:

29 Some of them were also appointed over the furniture and over all the vessels of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.
1 Chronicles 23:6
6 And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
1 Chronicles 24:1-19
1 And the divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. Therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3 And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar. And thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads of fathers' houses and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
5 Thus they were divided by lot, one sort with another. For there were rulers of the sanctuary and rulers for God, both of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar. 6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers of the priests and of the Levites, one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was the ordering of them in their service, to come into the house of Jehovah according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
5 Thus they were divided by lot, one sort with another. For there were rulers of the sanctuary and rulers for God, both of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar. 6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers of the priests and of the Levites, one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was the ordering of them in their service, to come into the house of Jehovah according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
1 Chronicles 25:1-31
1 Moreover David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries and with cymbals. And the number of those who did the work according to their service was:

6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman being under the order of the king. 7 And the number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Jehovah, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.

6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman being under the order of the king. 7 And the number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Jehovah, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.
8 And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
9 Now the first lot came out for Asaph to Joseph, the second to Gedaliah (he and his brothers and sons were twelve), 10 the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 11 the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 12 the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 13 the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 14 the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 15 the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 16 the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 17 the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 18 the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 19 the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 20 for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 21 for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 22 for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 23 for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 24 for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 25 for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 26 for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 27 for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 28 for the twenty-first to Hothir, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 29 for the twenty-second to Giddalti, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 30 for the twenty-third to Mahazioth, his sons and his brothers, twelve; 31 for the twenty-fourth to Romamti-ezer, his sons and his brothers, twelve.
Ezra 8:25-30
25 and weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counselors and his rulers and all Israel there present, had offered.
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talants of silver and a hundred talants of silver vessels, a hundred talants of gold,
27 and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand 128-grain weights and two vessels of fine bright brass, desirable as gold.
28 And I said to them, You* are holy to Jehovah and the vessels are holy and the silver and the gold are a free-will offering to Jehovah, the God of your* fathers. 29 Watch and keep them, until you* weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the rulers of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah. 30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

Ezra 8:33
33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite,
