Context of 2 Chronicles 4:19

17The 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. 18Solomon did not weigh any of these things, because there were so many of them. No one ever knew the weight of the bronze. Solomon's workers also made all these things for God's temple: the gold altar; the tables which had the special bread on them; 20the pure gold lampstands with their lamps (the plans showed how the lamps had to burn at the entrance of the Most Holy Place); 21the gold images of flowers; the lamps; the small tools that held things for the altar;

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 4:19

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19The tables - A single table only is mentioned in 1 Kings 7:48; 2 Chronicles 29:18. It is supposed that Solomon made ten similar tables, any one of which might be used for the showbread; but that the bread was never placed on more than one table at a time.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19The Bread of the Presence represented God's provision for his people. It was placed before God on the tables (2 Chronicles 4:8) as an offering, showing it belonged to God and that Israel's provision came from God's "table." The priests ate some of the bread (Leviticus 24:5–9), and the rest was burned. This meal symbolized the covenant meal of fellowship between God and his people (see Exodus 24:9–11).Read the comment
