“ You must bake twelve flat loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.Place the bread before the Lord on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two stacks, with six loaves in each stack.Put some pure frankincense near each stack to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the Lord.Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the Lord as a gift from the Israelites; it is an ongoing expression of the eternal covenant.

But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the Lord his God by entering the sanctuary of the Lord’s Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar.Azariah the high priest went in after him with eighty other priests of the Lord, all brave men.They confronted King Uzziah and said,“ It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is the work of the priests alone, the descendants of Aaron who are set apart for this work. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned. The Lord God will not honor you for this!”

He also built ten tables and placed them in the Temple, five along the south wall and five along the north wall. Then he molded 100 gold basins.

“ Then make another altar of acacia wood for burning incense.Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high, with horns at the corners carved from the same piece of wood as the altar itself.Overlay the top, sides, and horns of the altar with pure gold, and run a gold molding around the entire altar.Make two gold rings, and attach them on opposite sides of the altar below the gold molding to hold the carrying poles.Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.Place the incense altar just outside the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant, in front of the Ark’s cover— the place of atonement— that covers the tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant. I will meet with you there.“ Every morning when Aaron maintains the lamps, he must burn fragrant incense on the altar.And each evening when he lights the lamps, he must again burn incense in the Lord’s presence. This must be done from generation to generation.Do not offer any unholy incense on this altar, or any burnt offerings, grain offerings, or liquid offerings.“ Once a year Aaron must purify the altar by smearing its horns with blood from the offering made to purify the people from their sin. This will be a regular, annual event from generation to generation, for this is the Lord’s most holy altar.”

They also took all the ash buckets, shovels, lamp snuffers, basins, dishes, and all the other bronze articles used for making sacrifices at the Temple.The captain of the guard also took the small bowls, incense burners, basins, pots, lampstands, ladles, bowls used for liquid offerings, and all the other articles made of pure gold or silver.

“ Then make a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.Overlay it with pure gold and run a gold molding around the edge.Decorate it with a 3 inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border.Make four gold rings for the table and attach them at the four corners next to the four legs.Attach the rings near the border to hold the poles that are used to carry the table.Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.Make special containers of pure gold for the table— bowls, ladles, pitchers, and jars— to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.Place the Bread of the Presence on the table to remain before me at all times.

You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone— gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny!

As the Lord had said beforehand, Nebuchadnezzar carried away all the treasures from the Lord’s Temple and the royal palace. He stripped away all the gold objects that King Solomon of Israel had placed in the Temple.
