This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The brazen sea described as in 1Ki 7:23-26. See the commentary on that passage, and the sketch in my Archaeol. i. plate iii. fig. 1. The differences in substance, such as the occurrence of בְּקָרִים and הַבָּקָר, 2Ch 4:3, instead of פְּקָעִים and הַפְּקָיִם, and 3000 baths instead of 2000, are probably the result of orthographical errors in the Chronicle. יָכִיל in 2Ch 4:5 appears superfluous after the preceding מַחֲזִיק, and Berth. considers it a gloss which has come from 1 Kings into our text by mistake. But the expression is only pleonastic: “receiving baths, 3000 it held;” and there is no sufficient reason to strike out the words.
