Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord, bowls of silver, etc.] Either to hold the blood of the sacrifices, or the drink offerings of wine: snuffers; to trim the lamps; or, as Jarchi and other writers, both Jewish and Christian, musical instruments: basins; vessels to sprinkle the blood with, as the word signifies: trumpets; silver ones, to call the assembly, blow over the sacrifices, etc. any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver; for any other use: these were not made of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord; yet, in (<142414>2 Chronicles 24:14), it is said they were, which is to be reconciled thus; they did not make any of those things at first, until the house was repaired, and the charges of it defrayed; and then of what remained they made vessels for the house, which were wanting, that Athaliah had bestowed on Baalim, (<142407>2 Chronicles 24:7).
