2 Chronicles 4:8 Summary
This verse describes how Solomon made ten tables and a hundred gold bowls for the temple, placing five tables on each side of the room. This shows how Solomon wanted to make the temple a beautiful and special place to worship God, with everything in its perfect place, just like in Exodus 25:40, where Moses was instructed to build the tabernacle according to God's plan. The tables and bowls were likely used for special ceremonies and offerings, reminding us that our worship should be thoughtful and intentional, just like Solomon's preparations for the temple. By focusing on the details of our worship, we can show our love and respect for God, just as Solomon did.
Frequently Asked Questions
What were the ten tables in 2 Chronicles 4:8 used for?
The tables were likely used to hold the bread of the Presence, as described in Leviticus 24:5-9, and other offerings, emphasizing the importance of worship and sacrifice in the temple.
Why did Solomon make a hundred gold bowls?
The hundred gold bowls were probably used for ceremonial purposes, such as holding incense or oil, and symbolized the wealth and glory of God's kingdom, as seen in 1 Kings 10:21, where all of Solomon's drinking vessels were gold.
What is the significance of the symmetry in the placement of the tables and lampstands in the temple?
The symmetry, with five tables and five lampstands on each side, represents the order and perfection of God's creation, as seen in Genesis 1:1-31, and emphasizes the importance of balance and harmony in worship and life.
How does this verse relate to the overall purpose of the temple?
This verse shows how the temple was furnished with beautiful and functional items, highlighting the attention to detail and care that Solomon put into building a house for God, as described in 1 Chronicles 28:11-19, and demonstrating his desire to honor and worship God.
Reflection Questions
- What does the attention to detail in the construction of the temple reveal about God's character and our relationship with Him?
- How can we apply the principle of balance and harmony, seen in the symmetry of the tables and lampstands, to our own lives and worship?
- What role do material possessions, such as the gold bowls, play in our worship and service to God, and how can we use them in a way that honors Him?
- In what ways can we, like Solomon, use our talents and resources to create a 'temple' of worship in our own lives, and what would that look like in practical terms?

2 Chronicles 4:8 He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.Ver. 8. He made also ten tables.] Lyra holdeth that all these were for shewbread, each of them having twelve loaves weekly set thereon, one hundred thirty-two in all. In our heavenly "Father’ s house is bread enough." He made a hundred basons of gold.] To receive the blood of the sacrifices. The blood of Christ is most precious, and must not be trampled on.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 4:8
(8) He made also ten tables.—Perhaps the golden candelabra stood upon them. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 28:16; and 2 Chronicles 4:19, infra.) Side.—Not in the Hebrew. An hundred basons.—Bowls for pouring libations (Amos 6:6; same word, mizrâqîm). The Syriac and Arabic make the number of these vessels a hundred and twenty. The ten tables are not mentioned in the parallel narrative, which speaks of one table only, viz., the table of shewbread (1 Kings 7:48). “Basons,” or bowls, are spoken of in 1 Kings 7:45; 1 Kings 7:50 (mizrâqôth), but their number is not given.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 4:8
Verse 8. A hundred basons of gold] These were doubtless a sort of paterae or sacrificial spoons, with which they made libations.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 4:8
8. The Tables and Basons 8. ten tables] In 2 Chronicles 4:19 “the tables (plural) whereon the shewbread was set” are mentioned (cp. 1 Chronicles 28:16), but the parallel place (1 Kings 7:48) has “the table” (sing.), and elsewhere both in Chronicles and in the rest of the O.T. one table only is assigned to the shewbread (2 Chronicles 13:11; 2 Chronicles 29:18). Probably therefore the ten tables here mentioned were not for the shewbread. basons] These were used for dashing the blood of the sacrifices against the altar.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 4:8
The number of the tables (see 2 Chronicles 4:19) and of the basins, is additional to the information contained in Kings.
