1 Kings7:48
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD : the altar of gold , and the table of gold, whereupon the shew-bread was .
Such as God by the Mouth of Moses had commanded to be made for his House and Service, and such as Moses had made, onely these were larger, and richer, and more, according to the difference of the Temple, and Tabernacle, and Solomon's vast riches, and the poverty of Moses and the Israelites at that time.

Under which by a Synecdoche are comprehended both all the utensils belonging to it, and the other ten Tables which he made together with it, 2 Chron. 4. 7, 8.
