John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 7:47

"And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out." — 1 Kings 7:47 (ASV)

And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they
were exceeding many
The vessels of brass before mentioned, being so large, at least some of them, and so numerous; the Targum is, he laid them up, or placed them; he brought them from where they were cast, and put them in the sanctuary without weighing them:

neither was the weight of the brass found out ;
or "searched" ^F9 ; it never was inquired into; or, as the Targum, there was no end of it, it was so much.
