On the difference in respect to the tables of the shew-bread, see on <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:48<\/span>. In <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:20<\/span> the number and position of the candlesticks in the holy place are not stated as they are in <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:49<\/span>, both having been already given in <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:7<\/span>. Instead of that, their use is emphasized: to light them, according to the right, before the most holy place (  as in <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:7<\/span>). As to the decorations and subordinate utensils of the candlesticks, see on <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:49<\/span>. To  , <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:21<\/span> (accus. of the material), is added    , &ldquo;that is perfect gold.&rdquo;  , which occurs only here, is synonymous with  , perfection. This addition seems superfluous, because before and afterwards it is remarked of these vessels that they were of precious gold (   ), and it is consequently omitted by the lxx, perhaps also because  was not intelligible to them. The words, probably, are meant to indicate that even the decorations and the subordinate utensils of the candlesticks (lamps, snuffers, etc.) were of solid gold, and not merely gilded.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:22<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/strong>  , knives, probably used along with the snuffers for the cleansing and trimming of the candlesticks and lamps, are not met with among the utensils of the tabernacle, but are here mentioned (Chr. and Kings), and in <span class='bible'>2Ki 12:14<\/span> and <span class='bible'>Jer 52:18<\/span>, among the temple utensils. Along with the  , sacrificial vessels (see on <span class='bible'>2Ch 4:8<\/span>), in <span class='bible'>1Ch 28:17<\/span>  , forks of gold, are also mentioned, which are not elsewhere spoken of. Among the utensils of the tabernacle we find only  of brass, flesh-forks, as an appurtenance of the altar of burnt-offering (<span class='bible'>Exo 27:3<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Exo 38:3<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Num 4:14<\/span>; cf. <span class='bible'>1Sa 2:13<\/span>.), which, however, cannot be intended here, because all the utensils here enumerated belonged to the holy place. What purpose the golden forks served cannot be determined, but the mention of golden knives might lead us to presuppose that there would be golden forks as well. That the forks are not mentioned in our verse does not render their existence doubtful, for the enumeration is not complete: e.g., the  , <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:50<\/span>, are also omitted.  , vessels for the incense, and  , extinguishers, as in <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:50<\/span>. Instead of     , &ldquo;and as regards the opening (door) of the house, its door-leaves,&rdquo; in <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:50<\/span> we have    , &ldquo;and the hinges of the door-leaves of the house.&rdquo; This suggests that  is only an orthographical error for  ; but then if we take it to be so, we must alter  into  . And, moreover, the expression   , door-hinges of the house, is strange, as  properly denotes a recess or space between, and which renders the above-mentioned conjecture improbable. The author of the Chronicle seems rather himself to have generalized the expression, and emphasizes merely the fact that even the leaves of the doors in the most holy place and on the holy place were of gold; &#8211; of course not of solid gold; but they were, as we learn from <span class='bible'>2Ch 3:7<\/span>, overlaid with gold. This interpretation is favoured by the simple  being used without the predicate  . To the sing.  no objection can be made, for the word in its fundamental signification, &ldquo;opening,&rdquo; may easily be taken collectively.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Keil &amp; Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>See note on <span class='bible'>1Ki 7:40<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>(<em>c<\/em>) <strong>CATALOGUE OF OBJECTS IN GOLDCONCLUSION<\/strong><br \/>(<span class='bible'>2Ch. 4:19<\/span> &#8211;<span class='bible'>2Ch. 5:1<\/span>). <span class='bible'>1Ki. 7:48-50<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative still coincides in the main with that of Kings, allowing for one or two remarkable alterations.<br \/>(19) <strong>For the house.<\/strong><em>In the houses<\/em> (without proposition, comp. <span class='bible'>2Ch. 4:11<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The golden altar also.<\/strong>Literally, <em>both the golden altar and the tables, and upon them the Presence bread.<\/em> So LXX. and Vulg.

Yet, it was stated above that Huram made all these things. Thus we have another example of the Biblical conception that a man does what he commands or employs another to do.
