2 Chronicles 4:22

And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

2 Chronicles 4:22 belongs to the account of Solomon's temple and lists its gold furnishings and doors. The snuffers, basins, spoons, and censers were of pure gold, as were the entry of the house, the inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple. The surrounding account presents the temple's magnificence as indicated by the great wealth prepared for its construction.

The verse shows the costly and magnificent workmanship of Solomon's temple. These details illustrate the temple's increased scale and magnificence compared with the tabernacle. The temple had sacred vessels of the same kind as those used in the tabernacle, was built with two holy places, and followed the tabernacle's pattern in its arrangement, service, and ministry.

Together, these features made Solomon's temple a pattern of the heavenly temple, which likewise has two holy places. The chapter shows that Hiram completed the work assigned to him for the temple, and it gives no support to the claim that he was killed and buried beneath the most holy place or that a monument to him stood there.
