1 Kings 7:51

So was ended, &c. The changes of order and words in this verse made by R.V. (viz. Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the Lord was finished.) are such as to bring as nearly as possible this passage and 2 Chronicles 5:1 into accord. Where the Hebrew words are the same there seems a gain in representing them in such a recital as the present by the same translation. On -in the house of the Lord," cf. above on 1 Kings 7:45.

among the treasures R.V. -in the treasuries." The word is used rather of the place than of the things kept in it. Thus Joel 1:17, it is rendered -garners," and in 1 Chronicles 27:25 -storehouses," and two verses later in the same chapter -cellars" for wine. It is noteworthy that in Kings nothing is said of the treasures amassed by David, while in Chronicles (1 Chronicles 29:1-8) they are dwelt on at some length.
