Context of 1 Kings 7:45

43and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; 44and the one Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea; and the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze. 46The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. 47However, Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

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. Spiritual strength and stability are found at the door of God's temple, where we must…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 40-45Huram was very skilled at making items of different sizes and complexities. He also created the bronze altar for the inner court, which was used for burnt offerings (2 Chronicles 4:1).Read the comment

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. The Tyrian artists are frequently mentioned by ancient authors as skilful artificers in fashioning and embossing metal cups and bowls; and we need not wonder, therefore, to find them employed by Solomon in making the golden and brazen utensils for his temple and palaces.Read the comment
