SCRIPTURE

"And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away." — 2 Kings 25:15 (ASV)

Firepans. —See 1 Kings 7:50. Besides “firepans” and “bowls,” five other kinds of vessels are mentioned in Jeremiah 52:19.

Such things as were ... silver. —A general expression intended to include all other objects of the same material as the two kinds mentioned. The verse concerns the utensils of the holy place. Many such had doubtless been carefully concealed by the priests during the first plundering of the Temple (2 Kings 24:13). (Compare to Jeremiah 27:19 and following).
