The caldrons also: these were called pots, 2Ki 25:14.
And the shovels; which were to remove the ashes from the altar.
The snuffers: some think that this word in this place were better translated tongs, because he is speaking of instruments of brass; and that those utensils are not here understood with which they snuffed the lamps, because they were of gold. The bowls, or basons; it is uncertain which is here intended, there being in the temple both bowls to drink in, and also basens to receive the blood of the sacrifices.
The spoons; the word is such as may signify ladles, or cups, or dishes.

The cauldrons also,…. Or “pots”, as it is rendered,
2Ki 25:14; which were made of bright brass, 1Ki 7:45; these were used to boil the flesh of the sacrifices in:
and the shovels; used to remove the ashes from off the altar of burnt offerings, and were of brass also: the Targum renders them “besoms”, whose handles perhaps were of brass:
and the snuffers; the Vulgate Latin translates it “psalteries”; and so Jarchi interprets it of musical instruments; some think “tongs” are meant:
and the bowls; or “basins”; either to drink out of, or to receive the blood of the sacrifice:
and the spoons: ladles, cups, or dishes, vessels used about the sacrifices:
and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered; that is, the priests in the temple:
took they away; the Chaldeans took them away.

(18-20) The caldrons also, and the shovels . . .The list in 2Ki. 25:14-16 omits the basons, the caldrons, the candlesticks, and the cups; in Jer. 52:15 it gives the definite article in the Hebrew the one sea, and omits the twelve brasen bulls. Strictly speaking, the bases (1Ki. 7:27) were under the ten lavers which were used for washing the meat for the sacrifices, and the twelve bulls (1Ki. 7:25) supported the molten sea, or bigger laver, for the priests ablutions; 2Ki. 16:17 suggests the thought that the bulk of the bronze had been removed by Ahaz and given to Tiglath Pileser, though possibly not taken away by him.
