Gold was extensively used in the tabernacle (Exodus 25-31) and later in Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6), signifying God's holiness and glory. The specific mention of "weight" underscores the precision and care in the temple's preparation, reflecting the importance of worship and the reverence due to God. This also foreshadows the heavenly city described in <a href="/revelation/21-18.htm">Revelation 21:18</a>, where gold is a prominent feature, symbolizing eternal glory and divine presence.<p><b>the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;</b><br>Silver, often associated with redemption (<a href="/exodus/30-11.htm">Exodus 30:11-16</a>), was used for various temple services and utensils. The detailed allocation of silver for temple use indicates the importance of order and sanctity in worship practices. Historically, silver was a common medium of exchange, and its use in the temple signifies the value and cost of maintaining a place of worship. This allocation reflects the broader biblical theme of redemption and purification, as seen in the silver shekel used for atonement. The careful measurement of silver articles also points to the need for precision and dedication in serving God, paralleling the New Testament call for believers to offer themselves as living sacrifices (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel who is making preparations for the building of the temple.

In other words, David gave Solomon an account or schedule of all the different vessels of gold and silver that would be required for the sanctuary, specifying the exact weight of each. (Comp. <a href="/ezra/8-25.htm" title="And weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:">Ezra 8:25</a>, <span class= "ital">seq.</span> <a href="/ezra/8-34.htm" title="By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.">Ezra 8:34</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 14, 15.</span> -
