I Kings 7:40-50.
This haftorah is read on Chanukah because it mentions the menorahs that King Solomon crafted for the Holy Temple.
The haftorah begins with a description of the copper vessels, utensils and decorative adornments that King Hiram of Tyre fashioned for the Holy Temple. The latter part of the haftorah discusses the holy vessels which King Solomon built himself. All were made of gold and they include the altar, the showbread table, and ten menorahs.
