2 Chron. 4:1 Solomon’s altar stood outside the temple, perhaps in front of the temple entrance, just as Moses’ altar had stood before the entrance of the tabernacle (Ex. 40:6).
2 Chron. 4:2–6 On various details of the temple, see notes on 1 Kings 7:23–47. The sea was a large, circular water tank, outside the southeast corner of the temple (2 Chron. 4:10). The priests used it for their ceremonial cleansing before they entered the temple (v. 6). It corresponded to the bronze basin that had stood between the entrance to the tabernacle and the Mosaic altar (Ex. 30:18–21). 3,000 baths. First Kings 7:26 reads “two thousand baths.” The difference may be due to a copyist’s error. The twelve oxen, three facing each of four directions, probably signified the tribes of Israel. They would be a reminder of how the tribes encamped, three on each side, around the four sides of the tabernacle in the wilderness (see Num. 2:1–31).
2 Chron. 4:2 ten cubits . . . thirty cubits. See note on 1 Kings 7:23.
2 Chron. 4:9 the court of the priests. A feature that also corresponds to the tabernacle; see Ex. 27:9–19.
2 Chron. 4:11b–22 The bronze vessels and furnishings were in the temple entrance and court, while those inside (the place of greater holiness) were of gold. The golden altar was for burning incense (see Ex. 30:1–10; 1 Chron. 28:18). The Most Holy Place was separated from the Holy Place by inner doors . . . of gold as well as the veil (2 Chron. 3:14).
2 Chron. 4:19 Solomon made all the vessels. See note on 1 Kings 7:48–51.
