19. And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread [was set]; 20. Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold; 21. And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold; 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.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 4:19

Theological / Devotional

All the vessels. Verses 19–22 give a catalogue of the objects of gold (see 1 Kings 7:48–50).

The tables. The parallel passage in 1 Kings 7:48 reads “the table.” Also in 2 Chron. 13:11 and 29:18 only a single table is mentioned. The tabernacle had only one table of shewbread (Ex. 25:23, 30; 37:10). But 2 Chron. 4:8 mentions ten tables in the Temple; see comment there.
