Verse 19

And the basins ,.... Or "bowls"; these are omitted, 2 Kings 25:15 ; they were of gold, 1 Kings 7:50 ;

and the firepans ; or "censers"; these were those of gold, which belonged to the golden altar, 1 Kings 7:50 ;

and the bowls ; or "basins"; there were a hundred of them made of gold, 2 Chronicles 4:8 ;

and the cauldrons ; or "pots"; these are not mentioned, 2 Kings 25:15 ; what they should be, that were either of gold or silver, cannot be said:

and the candlesticks ; of which there were ten in number, made of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, 1 Kings 7:49 ;

and the spoons ; which were also of gold, 1 Kings 7:50 ;

and the cups : the word is rendered "bowls", to cover withal, Exodus 25:29 ; it was some kind of instrument or vessel used about the shewbread table, made of pure gold; according to Jarchi, these were little golden forks, upon which they placed the shewbread, to keep it from moulding; according to the Misna F3 Menachot, c. 11. sect. 6. , there were four of them:

that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away ; that is, everything that was of gold or silver he took away; the golden things by themselves, and the silver things by themselves, as some think.
