Vases and Lavers 1 Kings 7:27-39 In addition to the great molten sea, described in the previous verses, there were ten portable vessels, or vases, that ran on wheels, so that they could be pushed across the level marble floor to any part of the court where fresh cleansing water was required. Five of these lavers were placed on the right, and ten on the left, of the great brazen altar. Such things as belonged to the burned-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Taking advantage of the treaty with Hiram, Solomon also built a house for himself, the house of the forest of Lebanon, a description of which is given in the commencement of this chapter. It is surely significant that the chronicler says concerning the Temple, "So he was seven years in building It”; and then, 'And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years." Comment is hardly necessary, save, perhaps, to remind ourselves that however strong our zeal may be for the Ark of God, if the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:13-51

The Furnishing And Embellishment Of The Temple (1 Kings 7:13-51 ). The passage is divided into two parts. The first part emphasises that what is described was the work of Hiram, a skilled metalworker and carpenter from Tyre who was half Israelite, half Tyrian. He was called on to complete the furnishing and embellishing of the Temple for the Inner court. It will be noted that there is a deliberate attempt to parallel him with Bezalel, the craftsman who made the original Tabernacle furnishings... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:23-40

Hiram Fashions The Molten Sea And The Ten Lavers With Their Instruments (1 Kings 7:23-40 ). Hiram also fashioned the molten Sea, or Sea made of cast-work. The Hebrew word ‘sea’ (yam) is nowhere else in Scripture used of anything other than literal large expanses of water or as an indicator of ‘the west’ (because the Great (Mediterranean) Sea was to the west of Palestine, see 1 Kings 7:25). Thus its occurrence in this connection is unique in the Old Testament. In post Biblical Hebrew it would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:27-37

The Fashioning Of The Bases For The Lavers (1 Kings 7:27-37 ). As well as ‘the Sea’ at which priest could wash their hands and feet, there were also to be ten large wash bowls, situated on ten moveable bases, which were to be used for the purpose of washing parts of the sacrifices. They could be filled from the ‘sea’ and wheeled over to the altar for that purpose. The bases were somewhat complicated, described in technical language, and are explained first. A ‘trolley’ for carrying bowls,... read more

1 Kings 7. Solomon’ s Palace (1 Kings 1-12). The Temple Implements (1Kings 13– 51).— Twenty years ( cf. 1 Kings 9:10 with 1 Kings 7:1) was Solomon engaged in building. After completing the Temple he built his own palace, with its courts and approaches. These, according to Stade, were erected on the Ophel hill, which lay S. of the Temple mountain, and were constructed so as to lead up to the sanctuary itself. The whole chapter, like most of the 6th, is from a source descriptive of the... read more

Four brazen wheels; whereby the bases and lavers might be carried from place to place, as need required. Undersetters, Heb. shoulders; fitly so called, because they strongly supported the lavers, that they should not fall from their bases when the bases were removed together with the lavers. read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 7:13. Fetched Hiram out of Tyre—He seems to have been eminent among the artists in metals for which Tyre and Phœnicia were then renowned. This man (of like name with the king) is designated in 2 Chronicles 2:13, by the title of honour אב—i.e., master, teacher, father (Keil). His genius was a natural gift of God (1 Kings 7:14). Note the difference between this phrase concerning Hiram, “filled with wisdom.” &c., and the statement as to the supernatural... read more
