He made also ten tables. — Perhaps the golden candelabra stood upon them. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 28:16; and 2 Chronicles 4:19, infra.)
Side. — Not in the Hebrew.
An hundred basons. — Bowls for pouring libations (Amos 6:6; same word, mizrâqîm). The Syriac and Arabic make the number of these vessels a hundred and twenty.
The ten tables are not mentioned in the parallel narrative, which speaks of one table only, viz., the table of shewbread (1 Kings 7:48).
“Basons,” or bowls, are spoken of in 1 Kings 7:45; 1 Kings 7:50 (mizrâqôth), but their number is not given.
