1 Chronicles 28:16 Summary
This verse talks about the tables of showbread in the temple, which were made of gold and silver. These tables were special because they held the bread that represented God's presence and provision for His people, just like in Exodus 25:23-30. The use of gold and silver shows how much God values and cares for His people, and we can learn from this attention to detail in our own service to Him, as seen in Colossians 3:23-24. By focusing on the details and using our best efforts, we can show God that we value and care for Him too, just like the Israelites did when they built the temple.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 28:16
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table,.... For though there were but one table for the shewbread in the tabernacle of Moses, there were ten in the temple of Solomon,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 28:16
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:16
The tables of shew-bread: by this, and , it appears that there were divers tables to be used either successively or together about the shew-bread; but one of them seems to have been of more eminency and use than the rest, and therefore it is most commonly called the table of the shew-bread, in the singular number. But of this and the rest of the utensils here named, see the notes on Exodus.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:16
1 Chronicles 28:16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:Ver. 16. For the tables of silver.] These, as also the silver candlesticks, were, likely, for the priests’ use in the courts and chambers.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:16
(16) And by weight he gave gold.—And the gold he gave (assigned in the schedule or written plan) a certain weight.For the tables of shewbread.—Only one table of shewbread is spoken of in the Law. (See Exodus 25:23-30, and comp. 1 Kings 7:48.) The chronicler was well aware of this, as appears from 2 Chronicles 29:18; and as he states elsewhere that Solomon made ten golden tables, and put them five on the right and five on the left in the holy place (2 Chronicles 4:8), those tables may be intended here. It may even be the case that the term “shewbread” (hamma‘arèketh) is a gloss which has displaced the word “gold” (hazzâhâb), and that the original text was “for the tables of gold.” (Comp. “for the tables of silver,” at the end of the verse.) The table of shewbread would then be included among the golden tables. (But comp. 1 Chronicles 6:57; 2 Chronicles 28:16.) For the tables of silver.—The silver tables are not again spoken of in the Old Testament. The rabbis assert that they stood in the court of the Temple, and that the prepared flesh of the sacrificial victims was laid upon them.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 28:16
16. by weight he gave gold] R.V. the gold by weight. Cp. R.V. of 1 Chronicles 28:14. tables of shewbread] Elsewhere only one table for the shewbread is mentioned; cp. 2 Chronicles 29:18; Exodus 35:13; Exodus 37:10; Exodus 40:22. and likewise silver] R.V. and silver. The silver tables are not mentioned elsewhere; probably they stood in some of the chambers (1 Chronicles 28:12) of the Temple courts for the use of the Levites in their work.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:16
15, 16. The candlesticks of silver and the tables of silver are mentioned nowhere else. They were probably for the more private use of the priests and Levites.
