According to their form – <\/B>Rather, after their manner (compare 2Ch 4:20<\/span>). There is no allusion to the shape of the candlesticks, which were made, no doubt, after the pattern of the original candlestick of Moses.<\/P> <\/p>\n According to their form; <\/B>either, <\/P> 1. the form which was appointed for them by God, who signified it to David. Or rather, <\/P> 2. The old form which God prescribed to Moses, Exo 25:31<\/span>, &c., for so these were made. And this clause seems to be added here, because in many things there was a great variation from the old form, as in the posture of the cherubims, the height of the altar, and divers other things. <\/P> <\/p>\n 7. ten candlesticks<\/B>(See on1Ki 7:49<\/span>). The increased number wasnot only in conformity with the characteristic splendor of theedifice, but also a standing emblem to the Hebrews, that the growinglight of the word was necessary to counteract the growing darkness inthe world [LIGHTFOOT].<\/P><\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ch 3:1]<\/span>.<\/p>\n The golden furniture of the holy place and the courts<\/em>. These three verses are not found in the parallel narrative 1 Kings 7, where in 1Ki 7:39<\/span> the statement as to the position of the brazen sea (2Ch 4:10<\/span>) follows immediately the statement of the position of the stands with the lavers. The candlesticks and the table of the shew-bread are indeed mentioned in the summary enumeration of the temple furniture, 1Ki 7:48<\/span> and 1Ki 7:49<\/span>, as in the corresponding passage of the Chronicle ( 2Ch 4:19<\/span>, 2Ch 4:20<\/span>) they again occur; and in 1Ki 6:36<\/span> and 1Ki 7:12<\/span>, in the description of the temple building, the inner court is spoken of, but the outer court is not expressly mentioned. No reason can be given for the omission of these verses in 1 Kings 7; but that they have been omitted or have dropped out, may be concluded from the fact that not only do the whole contents of our fourth chapter correspond to the section 1 Kings 7:23-50, but both passages are rounded off by the same concluding verse (2Ch 5:1<\/span> and 1Ki 7:51<\/span>).<\/p>\n 2Ch 4:7<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> He made ten golden candlesticks , according to their right, i.e., as they should be according to the prescript, or corresponding to the prescript as to the golden candlesticks in the Mosaic sanctuary (Exo 25:31<\/span>.). is the law established by the Mosaic legislation. <\/p>\n 2Ch 4:8<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> Ten golden tables, corresponding to the ten candlesticks, and, like these, placed five on the right and five on the left side of the holy place. The tables were not intended to bear the candlesticks (Berth.), but for the shew-bread; cf. on 2Ch 4:19<\/span> and 1Ch 28:16<\/span>. And a hundred golden basins, not for the catching and sprinkling of the blood (Berth.), but, as their connection with the tables for the shew-bread shows, wine flagons, or sacrificial vessels for wine libations, probably corresponding to the on the table of shew-bread in the tabernacle (Exo 25:29<\/span>). The signification, wine flagons, for , is placed beyond a doubt by Amo 6:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n See note on 1Ki 7:40<\/span><\/p>\n THE TEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS, THE TEN TABLES, THE HUNDRED GOLDEN BOWLS, AND THE COURTS<\/strong> (2Ch. 4:7-9<\/span>).<\/p>\n This section is peculiar to Chronicles. In the temple.<\/strong>And before the chancel (1Ki. 7:49<\/span>; 2Ch. 4:20<\/span>, infra<\/em>). I include all these under one view; for of the whole it may be said, as the apostle hath before remarked, concerning the tabernacle in the wilderness, of those we cannot now speak particularly. But of this we may be sure, the Holy Ghost graciously signified, that by the whole, and from the use of all of them, the grand lesson taught was, that the way into the holiest of all, was not yet made manifest, until Christ being come; an high priest of good things to come. Precious Jesus! who shall properly and fully estimate the preciousness of thy salvation shadowed forth through so many ages, and all completed by thine own perfect righteousness, and by that one offering of thyself once offered, whereby thou hast forever perfected them that are sanctified. Heb 10:14<\/span> .<\/p>\n 2Ch 4:7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set [them] in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. And he made ten candlesticks of gold, according to their form.<\/strong> ] According to David’s pattern. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Five on the right hand.<\/strong> ] See 1Ki 7:49<\/span> .<\/p>\n candlesticks = lampstands. <\/p>\n 2Ch 4:7-10<\/p>\n 2Ch 4:7-10<\/p>\n SOLOMON’S CORRUPTED VERSION OF THE GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS<\/p>\n “And he made the candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold. Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south. And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins.”<\/p>\n There was hardly anything that Solomon touched that he did not corrupt it in one way or another. The candlestick he perverted from the divine pattern of seven branches, and made it into ten. Instead of putting it on the south side of the holy place, he put five on one side, and five on the other. The table of the showbread was changed into ten tables with five on the north side and five on the south (2Ch 4:19).<\/p>\n He made the candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them (2Ch 4:7). This should not mislead us. God had indeed required the candlesticks to be of gold; and, in that alone did Solomon heed the divine ordinance. That this is true is proved by the fact that when the second temple was constructed, the golden candlestick was again conformed to the pattern in the tabernacle, as proved by the bas relief depicting it upon the Arch of Titus in Rome, where it is visible today.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 4:7-8. The only thing needful to mention about these is the fact that Solomon increased the number of the articles over what was in the tabernacle. It was all satisfactory to the Lord, for he blessed the whole institution when it was completed. The nation was growing in numbers and becoming more important in the eyes of the nation, and it was fitting that the institutions of its public service be enlarged. <\/p>\n 2Ch 4:9. A special court was made tor the priest, and the great court was for the people in general, hence its increased size. <\/p>\n 2Ch 4:10. The sea or large tank was placed before the east end of the building. It was set over at the right-hand side of the space and facing southward. <\/p>\n ten candlesticks: 1Ki 7:49, 1Ch 28:15, Zec 4:2, Zec 4:3, Zec 4:11-14, Mat 5:14-16, Joh 8:12, Rev 1:20 <\/p>\n according to: Exo 25:31-40, 1Ch 28:12, 1Ch 28:19, Heb 8:5 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 24:13 – which Solomon 2Ch 4:20 – the candlesticks 2Ch 29:18 – the altar<\/p>\n 4:7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to {e} their form, and set [them] in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.<\/p>\n (e) Even as they should be made.<\/p>\n And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set [them] in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
