The tables of shew-bread: by this, and 2Ch 4:19, it appears that there were divers tables to be used either successively or together about the shew-bread; but one of them seems to have been of more eminency and use than the rest, and therefore it is most commonly called
the table of the shew-bread, in the singular number. But of this and the rest of the utensils here named, see the notes on Exodus.

And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table,.... For though there were but one table for the shewbread in the tabernacle of Moses, there were ten in the temple of Solomon, Ch2 4:8 and each of them contained one hundred pounds in weight (u):
and likewise silver for the tables of silver; these were placed in the court, as Jarchi thinks, on which they flayed the sacrifices; or, as Kimchi, on which they slew them, and laid the flesh of the burnt offerings on them, which he gathers from Eze 40:39.

For the tables of shewbread.—Only one table of shewbread is spoken of in the Law. (See Exo_25:23-30, and comp. 1Ki_7:48.) The chronicler was well aware of this, as appears from 2Ch_29:18; and as he states elsewhere that Solomon made ten golden tables, and put them five on the right and five on the left in the holy place (2Ch_4:8), those tables may be intended here. It may even be the case that the term “shewbread” (hamma‘arèketh) is a gloss which has displaced the word “gold” (hazzâhâb), and that the original text was “for the tables of gold.” (Comp. “for the tables of silver,” at the end of the verse.) The table of shewbread would then be included among the golden tables. (But comp. 1Ch_6:57; 2Ch_28:16.)

So tot, as regards the tables of shewbread, whether in sort of gold or of silver, he assigned the due weight of metal for either sort. We should have been at a loss to understand the plural here employed, showing more than one table (Exo_25:23; 1Ki_7:48; 2Ch_29:18) but for 2Ch_4:8, 2Ch_4:19; in the former of which verses we read of ten tables" being made and placed on the right side and on the left, in the temple," and in the latter verse, yet more distinctly, of tables, whereon the shewbread was set."
