Context of 1 Kings 7:45

43Ten carts with the ten buckets that were on them. 44The big bath called ‘the Sea’ and the 12 bulls under it. The dishes, small tools and bowls. King Solomon asked Hiram to make all these things for the Lord's temple. Hiram used bright bronze to make all these things. 46The king told his workers to pour the hot bronze into shapes in the ground. They did that at a special place in the region of the Jordan Valley, between Succoth and Zarethan. 47Solomon did not weigh any of these things, because there were so many of them. No one ever knew the weight of the bronze.

Commentaries on 1 Kings 7:45

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-47Verses 13-47 The two brazen pillars in the porch of the temple, some think, were to teach those that came to worship, to depend upon God only, for strength and establishment in all their religious exercises. "Jachin," God will fix this roving mind. It is good that the heart be established with grace. "Boaz," In him is our strength, who works in us both to will and to do.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 40-4540-45. And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins--These verses contain a general enumeration of Hiram's works, as well as those already mentioned as other minor things.
