2 notes on this verseAlso pure gold for the flesh hooks,.... To take the pieces of flesh out of the pots, in which they were boiled: and the bowls and the cups; and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; which were vessels made use of for the receiving and sprinkling the blood of the sacrifices: likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver; for it seems some of them were of silver, as others were of gold.

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.
