1 Chronicles 28:15 Explained in Context
Use this verse as a doorway into the larger passage—not as an isolated saying.
Verse 15. 15Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

- 1 Chronicles 28:11–28:19
Specifies pure gold for forks, bowls, cups, and measured basins. Read 1 Chronicles 28:15 within 28:11–28:19. The complete unit records: David hands Solomon plans for temple spaces, treasuries, courses, vessels, lampstands, tables, bowls, altar, and cherubim, saying the LORD made the written pattern understood.
Why It Needs Context
Specifies pure gold for forks, bowls, cups, and measured basins. Its responsible force depends on 28:11–28:19; isolated from “David gives plans, weights, and a claimed divine pattern,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
