Contextual Overview

11Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God: 12the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars; 13the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars); 14the stands; the basins on the stands; 15the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea; 16and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. 17The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah. 18Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined. 19Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence; 20the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The entry of the house - The text is, by some, corrected by 1 Kings 7:50, “the hinges” of the doors of the house, etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 4:22. The doors - were of gold. — That is, were overlaid with golden plates, the thickness of which we do not know.

THAT every thing in the tabernacle and temple was typical or representative of some excellence of the Gospel dispensation may be readily credited, without going into all the detail produced by the pious author of Solomon's Temple Spiritualized. We can see the general reference and the principles of the great design, though we may not be able to make a particular application of the knops, the flowers, the pomegranates, the tongs, and the snuffers, to some Gospel doctrines: such spiritualizing is in most cases weak, silly, religious trifling; being ill calculated to produce respect for Divine revelation.
