וַיַּנַּ֤ח שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים מֵרֹ֖ב מְאֹ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת ׃

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

because they were exceeding many: Heb. for the exceeding multitude, 2 Chronicles 4:18

found out: Heb. searched, 1 Chronicles 22:14, 1 Chronicles 22:16

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 25:14 - the pots 2 Kings 25:16 - the brass 1 Chronicles 22:3 - without weight Jeremiah 52:20 - without

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many,.... The vessels of brass before mentioned, being so large, at least some of them, and so numerous; the Targum is, he laid them up, or placed them; he brought them from whence they were cast, and put them in the sanctuary without weighing them:

neither was the weight of the brass found out; or "searched" i; it never was inquired into; or, as the Targum, there was no end of it, it was so much.

i לא נחקר "nec invesigari potuerit", Tigurine version: "non pervestigatum est", Junius, Tremellius, Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The brass of which the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz, the brass sea, and the various vessels were made had been taken by David from two cities belonging to Hadadezer, king of Zobah 1 Chronicles 18:8.
