列王纪上 7:48-49 CUNPSS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 7:49

(49) The candlesticks of pure gold.—Whether these ten candlesticks were to supersede the one seven- lighted candlestick made for the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:31-40; Exodus 37:17-26), or were to be used in addition to it, we are not told. The latter supposition is, however, far more probable, both because it seems most unlikely that the old sacred candlestick should have been disused, and because in the second Temple only the one seven-lighted candlestick was provided, and (as the sculpture on the... read more

THE IDEAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TEMPLE1 Kings 7:13-51; 1 Kings 8:12-61"The hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth."- John 4:21; John 4:23.FIVE long chapters of the First Book of Kings are devoted to the description of Solomon’s Temple, which occupies a still larger space in the Books of Chronicles. The Temple was regarded as the permanent... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

THREE MORE HOUSES (vs.1-12) Only one verse speaks of Solomon's own house, which took 13 years to build. However, the order of that house is seen in chapter 10:4-5. This is typical of the Church of God today, of which the Lord says, "On this Rock I will build My Church" (Matthew 16:18). It is interesting that when Solomon's house is spoken of in1 Kings 10:4-5; 1 Kings 10:4-5, there is special mention made of "his ascent by which he went up to the house of the Lord" (KJV). This speaks... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-51

BUILDING THE TEMPLE THE WORK IN OUTLINE (1 Kings 6:1-14 ) Note the particularities as to date, dimensions and general appearance (1 Kings 6:1-4 ), on which space will not permit extended comment. As to the size of the cubit, the question as to whether the elevation is external or internal, the description and purpose of the windows, for example, students must be referred to Bible dictionaries. The chambers (1 Kings 6:5-10 ) on three sides of the temple seem to have been three stories high,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Solomon's Temple 1 Kings 6-7 THESE chapters should be compared with 2 Chron. iii.-iv. indeed the whole story should be read in the various forms which it is made to assume in all the historical books, for without this survey of all the parts we might easily come to false conclusions regarding many of the details. In this matter of the history of the temple the Kings and the Chronicles must be considered as filling up what is lacking in each other, and only the whole can be taken as supplying... read more

(27) And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. (28) And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: (29) And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. (30) And every base had four brasen... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:48

Altar, not that on which the ark was placed, (chap. vi. 20.; Calmet) though some are of that opinion; (Menochius, &c.) but perhaps the altar of incense. The one which Moses had made was probably too small, (Calmet) and reposited in the treasury. (Rabbins) --- Table. In 1 Paralipomenon iv. 8., we find ten specified, one between each candlestick, in the holy place. Josephus ([Antiquities?] viii. 2.) mentions an incredible number of gold and silver utensils, which are not found in Scripture;... read more
