Thus as the building on Mount Moriah was noiselessly 36 upreared with "stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building," the beautiful fittings were perfected according to the patterns committed by David to his son, "all the vessels that were for the house of God." 1 King 6:7;2 Chronicles 4:19. These included the altar of incense, the table of shewbread, the candlestick and lamps, with the vessels and instruments connected with the ministrations of the priests in the holy place, all "of gold, and that perfect gold." 2 Chronicles 4:21. The brazen furniture,--the altar of burnt offering, the great laver supported by twelve oxen, the lavers of smaller size, with many other vessels,--"in the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah." 2 Chronicles 4:17. These furnishings were provided in abundance, that there should be no lack.

Bygningen på Morija bjerg opførtes, uden at der hørtes "lyd af hamre, mejsler eller andet jernværktøj", for stenene "var gjort færdige i stenbruddet". På samme tid tilvirkedes det smukke tilbehør efter den tegning, som David havde givet sin søn, "alle tingene, som hørte til Guds hus". 1Kong. 6,7; 2Krøn. 4,19. Disse indbefattede røgelsesalteret, skuebrødsbordet, lysestagen med tilhørende lamper samt de kar og redskaber, som skulle benyttes i forbindelse med præstejenesten i det hellige. Alt sammen var "af guld, ja, af det allerbedste guld". 2Krøn. 4,21. De ting, som var af kobber, brændofferalteret, havet, som blev støttet af tolv okser, bækkenerne samt mange andre kar alt dette lod kongen støbe i Jordandalen, "ved Adamas vadested mellem Sukkot og Zereda". 2Krøn 4,17. Disse ting blev fremstillet i stor mængde, for at der ikke skulle være mangel på dem.
