The verses I cited were clear. God gave David the specs, and he passed them on to Solomon. Solomon built the temple, and scripture says that it was built "according to all its specifications". Nitpicking this is no different than other forms of "higher criticism" which attempt to discredit scripture.

Your link makes an interesting interpretation of this verse:

2 Chronicles 9:20 And all king Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

He says, " Some of these items were also supposed to be made of silver, but there is no mention of anything actually being made of silver." From this he assumes that nothing was made of silver. But it can more readily be understood that they didn't "account of" silver in the days of Solomon. Just because it wasn't specifically mentioned doesn't mean that they weren't made.

In fact, the entire thesis is based upon an absence of evidence. But an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Are you aware that the author of your link believes that the Euro is the Mark of the Beast?

Opinions, are not my interest. This is one of over 100 sites dealing with Solomons temple building. I also find interesting his building of the pharo's temples and his worship of the gods Paganism.

Research continues.

Needless to say, Solomon displeased God.
