2 Chronicles 4:8

The Tables and Basons

8. ten tables In 2 Chronicles 4:19 "the tables (plural) whereon the shewbread was set" are mentioned (cp. 1 Chronicles 28:16), but the parallel place (1 Kings 7:48) has "the table" (sing.), and elsewhere both in Chronicles and in the rest of the O.T. one table only is assigned to the shewbread (2 Chronicles 13:11; 2 Chronicles 29:18). Probably therefore the ten tables here mentioned were notfor the shewbread.

basons These were used for dashing the blood of the sacrifices against the altar.
