the weight of all the gold articles
on 1 Chronicles 28:14-18
The gold and silver are listed down to the weight of every lampstand, table, fork, bowl and dish. The list ends with “the chariot of the gold cherubim”, David's name for the two large cherubim. Matthew Henry ties the name to Psalm 68, where the angels are God's chariots.
