Seven years for Jehovah’s Temple and Thirteen for the King’s palace according to 1 Kings 7. Does this sound lopsided? Not when you look at the size of the structures. If you build a house, you need furniture.

Let’s look at what was made for the Temple of the Lord. The massive sea that was used for ceremonial cleansing. Ten wheeled stands, bronze basins, pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls were also created by Huram. Many other items are also listed. Tomorrow we look at 2 Chronicles.

2 Chronicles 4 begins with the bronze altar, and then lists the items from yesterday. Included in the list are the ten lampstands and the ten tables. Here we read of some gold wick trimmers, tongs, lampstands, lamps, wick trimmers, dishes, and censers. Each item had their specific purpose in the Temple.
