The candlesticks and the table of the shew-bread are indeed mentioned in the summary enumeration of the temple furniture, 1-Kings 7:48 and 1-Kings 7:49, as in the corresponding passage of the Chronicle (2-Chronicles 4:19, 2-Chronicles 4:20) they again occur; and in 1-Kings 6:36 and 1-Kings 7:12, in the description of the temple building, the inner court is spoken of, but the outer court is not expressly mentioned. No reason can be given for the omission of these verses in 1 Kings 7; but that they have been omitted or have dropped out, may be concluded from the fact that not only do the whole contents of our fourth chapter correspond to the section 1 Kings 7:23-50, but both passages are rounded off by the same concluding verse (2-Chronicles 5:1 and 1-Kings 7:51).
