2 Kings 25:15 - Exposition

And the firepans, and the bowls; rather, the snuff-dishes , ( Exodus 25:38 ; 1 Kings 7:50 ) and the bowls , or basins ( Exodus 12:22 ; 1 Kings 7:50 ; 2 Chronicles 4:8 ). Of these Solomon made one hundred, all in gold. And such things as were of gold, in gold. The "and" supplied by our translators would be better omitted. The writer means that of the articles enumerated some were in gold and some in silver, though probably the greater pert were in bronze. And of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away (comp. Jeremiah 52:19 ).
