1 Kings 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:33

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a
chariot wheel
In the same form and fashion as one of them; the Targum is,

``like a chariot of glory;''

a splendid one, curiously wrought; unless reference is had in it to the chariot of Ezekiel's vision:

their axle trees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes,
were all molten;
cast together when the base was.
