He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service,…. Whatever was to be made of gold, David was directed by the Spirit of God what weight or quantity of gold should be made use of in making it, as appears from some following instances: silver also
for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service; so likewise whatever instruments or vessels, for the service of the temple, were to be made of silver, he had a direction from the Spirit of God what weight each was to be of, or what quantity of silver was to be used in it, and this he gave; according to Jacob Jehudah Leon s, the vessels of gold were 340,000, the vessels of silver 470,000, in all 810,000.

(14) He gave of gold by weight for things of gold.The Hebrew is very concise. Apparently it continues the construction of 1Ch. 28:12, so that the sense is: He gave him a pattern or description for the golden vessels (literally, for the gold), by the weight for the golden vessels (Heb., for the gold), for all vessels of each kind of service (i.e., use); and he gave him a pattern for all the silver vessels, by weight, for all vessels of each kind of service. In other words, David gave Solomon an account or schedule of all the different vessels of gold and silver that would be required for the sanctuary, specifying the exact weight of each. (Comp. Ezr. 8:25, seq. Ezr. 8:34.)

Ver. 14. He gave of gold by weight. ] The vessels for the holy place were of gold, as those for the priests’ court were of silver. a Now, like as in the temple there were some vessels of gold, and some of silver, and all had their weight, and their use; so in the Church of Christ there are diversity of vessels, and of gifts. 2Ti 2:20-21
