1 Kings 7:50 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:50

And the bowls
To keep the oil in:

and the snuffers;
to trim the lamps with; though some interpret the word of musical instruments, as the Targum, of psalteries:

and the basins;
which were to receive the blood of the sacrifices; and, Ben Gersom thinks, particularly the blood of those that were brought into the sanctuary, see ( Hebrews 13:11 ) , there were an hundred of them, ( 2 Chronicles 4:8 )

and the spoons;
which held the incense:

and the censers of pure gold;
with which the coals were carried from one altar to another, on which the incense was burnt; not only those but all the other vessels were of pure gold:

and the hinges of gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the
most holy place, and for the doors of the house,
to wit,

of the temple;
the holy of holies and the holy place, the hinges of the doors of each, on which they were hung, and turned, were of gold; so grand and magnificent was this edifice, and so liberal Solomon in the building of it.

1 Kings 7:50 In-Context

48 Solomon made all the furnishings for the LORD's temple: the gold altar, the gold table on which the bread of the presence was placed,

49 lamp stands of pure gold (five on the south side and five on the north in front of the inner room), flowers, lamps, gold tongs,

50 dishes, snuffers, bowls, saucers, incense burners of pure gold, the gold sockets for the doors of the inner [room] (the most holy place), and the doors of the temple.

51 All the work King Solomon did on the LORD's temple was finished. He brought the holy things that had belonged to his father David--the silver, gold, and utensils--and put them in the storerooms of the LORD's temple.
