48 Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the Lord : the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence ; 49 and the lampstands , five on the right side and five on the left , in front of the inner sanctuary , of pure gold ; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs , of gold ; 50 and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the 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, of the nave , of gold . 51 Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the Lord was finished . And Solomon brought in the things dedicated 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 .

Commentary on 1 Kings 7:48-51
(Read 1 Kings 7:48-51)
Christ is now the Temple and the Builder; the Altar and the Sacrifice; the Light of our souls, and the Bread of life; able to supply all the wants of all that have applied or shall apply to him. Outward images cannot represent, words cannot express, the heart cannot conceive, his preciousness or his love. Let us come to him, and wash away our sins in his blood; let us seek for the purifying grace of his Spirit; let us maintain communion with the Father through his intercession, and yield up ourselves and all we have to his service. Being strengthened by him, we shall be accepted, useful, and happy.
