The Mystery of the Tables
Scholars note a difference between this verse, which mentions "tables" (plural), and the account in 1 Kings, which mentions one "table" for the showbread. Commentators suggest two main possibilities: either Solomon made ten tables with only one used at a time for the bread, or the author of Chronicles grouped various temple tables together for the sake of brevity.
