1 Kings 7:49 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 Kings 7:49

47 And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not ^adetermined.

48 Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the Lord: ^athe altar of gold, and ^bthe table of gold on which was ^cthe showbread;

49 the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold;

50 the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the¹ censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51 So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things ^awhich his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

candlesticks of pure gold—made, probably, according to the model of that in the tabernacle, which, along with the other articles of furniture, were deposited with due honor, as sacred relics, in the temple. But these seem not to have been used in the temple service; for Solomon made new lavers, tables, and candlesticks, ten of each. (See further regarding the dimensions and furniture of the temple, in 2Ch. 3:1-5:14).
