Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 4:17

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 17In the clay ground - See on 1 Kings 7:46; (note). Some suppose that he did not actually cast those instruments at those places, but that he brought the clay from that quarter, as being the most proper for making moulds to cast in.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 17Zeredathah - Or, Zarthan (marginal reference). The writer of Chronicles probably uses the name which the place bore in his own day.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11-18Compare 1 Kings 7:40b–47, which the Chronicler follows almost word for word.Read the comment
