Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord, bowls
of silver
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, &c.
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 ( 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, ( 2 Chronicles 24:7 ) .
