Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 4:16

"The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of Jehovah of bright brass." — 2 Chronicles 4:16 (ASV)

The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks. “Fleshhooks” (mizlâgôth) should apparently be “bowls” (mizrâqôth). (Compare 2 Chronicles 4:1 and 1 Kings 7:45.) But in Exodus 27:3, pots, shovels, bowls, and fleshhooks are mentioned in succession as utensils of the altar. Perhaps, therefore, both words should be read here and in Kings. The Septuagint has καὶ τοὺς ποδιστήρας καὶ τοὺς. The Vulgate merely repeats 2 Chronicles 4:11 (et lebetes et creagras et phialas). A period should follow the last item; the phrase “And all their instruments,” and so on, begins a new sentence.

And all their instruments. In 1 Kings 7:45, it reads and all these instruments, which appears correct, though the Septuagint supports our present reading (πάντα τὰ σκέυη αὐτῶν). “Their instruments” could hardly mean the moulds in which they were cast, as Zöckler suggests. The moulds would not be made in “polished brass.”

Huram his father. See Note on 2 Chronicles 2:13.

Bright. Polished.Jeremiah 46:4 (mârûq). Kings has the synonym mĕmôrât. (Compare Isaiah 18:2.)
