1 Kings 7:50
"And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the bowls,.... To keep the oil in: and the snuffers; to trim the lamps with; though some interpret the word of musical instruments, as the Targum, of psalteries: and the basins; which were to receive

the blood of the sacrifices; and, Ben Gersom thinks, particularly the blood of those that were brought into the sanctuary, see Heb 13:11 , there were an hundred of them, Ch2 4:8 . and the spoons; which held the incense: and the censers of pure gold; with which the coals were carried from one altar to another, on which the incense was burnt; not only those but all the other vessels were of pure gold: and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple; the holy of holies and the holy place, the hinges of the doors of each, on which they were hung, and turned, were of gold; so grand and magnificent was this edifice, and so liberal Solomon in the building of it.
