The narrative still coincides in the main with that of Kings, allowing for one or two remarkable alterations.
(19) For the house.—In the houses (without proposition, comp. 2Ch_4:11).
The golden altar also.—Literally, both the golden altar and the tables, and upon them the Presence bread. So LXX. and Vulg. The parallel passage, 1Ki_7:48, says, and the table on which (was) the Presence bread (in) gold. (See Note on 2Ch_4:8, supr., and 1Ch_28:16.) On the one hand, the chronicler in these three passages consistently speaks of tables, although the book of Kings mentions one table only; and, on the other hand, elsewhere he actually speaks himself of “the Pure Table,” and “the Table of the Pile,” as if there were only one such table (2Ch_13:11; 2Ch_29:18).
The difficulty cannot be solved with certainty; but it seems likely that, finding mention of a number of tables in one of his sources, the chronicler has grouped them all together with the Table of Shewbread. thus gaining brevity at the cost of accuracy. In Eze_40:39 eight tables of hewn stone are mentioned, whereon they slew the sacrificial victims.

4:19 The Bread of the Presence symbolized God’s provision for his people. It was placed before God on the tables (4:8) as a type of offering, demonstrating that it belonged to God and that Israel’s provision came from God’s “table.” Some of the bread was eaten by the priests (Lev 24:5-9), and the rest was burned; this meal symbolized the covenant meal of fellowship between God and his people (see Exod 24:9-11).
