Berean Study Bible

Solomon also made
The phrase "Solomon also made" highlights the active role of King Solomon in the construction and furnishing of the temple. Solomon, whose name in Hebrew, "Shlomo," is derived from "shalom," meaning peace, was chosen by God to build the temple, a task denied to his father David due to his history of warfare. This emphasizes Solomon's role as a king of peace and wisdom, fulfilling God's promise to David and establishing a central place of worship for Israel.

all the furnishings
The term "all the furnishings" refers to the comprehensive nature of Solomon's work in equipping the temple. This includes various items necessary for worship and sacrifice, indicating the thoroughness and dedication to creating a space worthy of God's presence. The Hebrew word for furnishings, "keli," can mean vessels or implements, suggesting both functional and sacred purposes, underscoring the temple's role as a place of divine encounter.

for the house of the LORD
The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple, a physical manifestation of God's dwelling among His people. In Hebrew, "bayit" means house, and "YHWH" is the sacred name of God. The temple was not just a building but a symbol of God's covenant with Israel, a place where heaven and earth met, and where the Israelites could come to worship and offer sacrifices.

the golden altar
The "golden altar" is the altar of incense, distinct from the bronze altar used for burnt offerings. Made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, it stood in the Holy Place before the veil separating the Holy of Holies. The use of gold signifies purity and divinity, reflecting the altar's role in the offering of incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people ascending to God.

the golden table
The "golden table" refers to the Table of Showbread, also made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold. This table held the Bread of the Presence, symbolizing God's provision and covenant with Israel. Gold, a symbol of royalty and divinity, underscores the sacredness of the table and its contents, reminding the Israelites of God's continual presence and sustenance.

on which was the Bread of the Presence
The "Bread of the Presence," or "Lechem haPanim" in Hebrew, literally means "bread of the face," signifying the bread's role in representing God's presence. Placed on the table every Sabbath, it consisted of twelve loaves, symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel. This bread was a perpetual offering, a reminder of God's covenant and His provision for His people, pointing forward to the ultimate provision in Christ, the Bread of Life.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(48) The altar of gold.--The altar of gold (1Kings 6:20; 1Kings 6:22) is the altar of incense. On it (see Exodus 30:1-10) incense was to be burnt morning and evening. The horns of the altar were to be touched with the blood of the sin offering (Leviticus 4:7; Leviticus 4:18) offered for the priests or the people; and it was to be solemnly purified by the blood of the sacrifice on the great Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:18-19). The offering of incense, therefore, pre-supposed sacrifice already offered, and atonement made for sin. To the Israelites it clearly symbolised the offering of an acceptable worship by man, as restored to the love and communion of God. (See Psalm 141:2.) The priest, as a mediator between God and man, alone entered the Holy Place and offered the incense; the people "stood praying without" (Luke 1:10). To us it symbolises the intercession of the One Mediator, offered for us in the Most Holy Place of heaven, by whom alone our worship ascends to God. (See Hebrews 9:11-12; Hebrews 9:24; Hebrews 10:19-22; Revelation 8:3.) . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 48. - And Solomon made all the vessels which pertained unto [neither word in Heb.] the house of the Lord: the altar of gold [the altar of incense. See on 1 Kings 6:20, 22] and the table of gold [The Heb. shows the meaning to be, He made the table out of gold, not "He made the golden table," as Keil. 2 Chronicles 4:8 (cf. ver. 19 and 1 Chronicles 28:16) speaks of ten tables] whereupon the shewbread was.
