C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch on 1 Kings 7:47

1Ki 7:47

Solomon left all these vessels of excessive number unweighed. ויּנּח does not mean he laid them down (= set them up: Movers), but he let them lie, i.e., unweighed, as the additional clause, “the weight of the brass was not ascertained,” clearly shows. This large quantity of brass, according to 1Ch 18:8, David had taken from the cities of Hadadezer, adding also the brass presented to him by Toi.
