Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe tables - There were divers tables to be used about the shew-bread; but one of them seems to have been of more eminency than the rest, and therefore it is commonly called the table of the shew-bread in the singular number.
This site's exposition
gold by weight for things of gold
on 1 Chronicles 28:14-18
The gold and silver are itemized down to the weight of every candlestick, table, basin, fleshhook and bowl, an inventory with no equivalent in the account of Solomon's finished work in 1 Kings 7. The list culminates in the chariot of the cherubims, David's own name for the two large cherubim whose wings would span the holy of holies wall to wall, a detail Matthew Henry ties to the cherubim as the chariots of God in Psalm 68. Weight recorded this precisely turns the temple's furnishing from a builder's estimate into a document David could hand his son and say the LORD himself had numbered it.
