Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Ten candlesticks of gold. The only allusion to these in the parallel is found later on in part of the forty-ninth verse of 1 Kings 7. According to their form. This expression, though so vague, might point to the fact that the form of the old candlestick of the tabernacle was adhered to (Exodus 25:31). But considering the recurrence of the same words (ver. 20), there can be no doubt that the phrase is identical in its meaning with the use found in such passages as Leviticus 5:10; Leviticus 9:16, and means "according to the prescribed ordinance,"
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersTHE TEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS, THE TEN TABLES, THE HUNDRED GOLDEN BOWLS, AND THE COURTS (2Chronicles 4:7-9).This section is peculiar to Chronicles.(7) And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form.--And he made the golden lampstands ten, according to their rule, or, prescribed manner. (Comp. 1Kings 7:49; and Exodus 25:31-40, where their type is described.) So the Vulg., "secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri." Syriac and Arabic, "according to their laws." Others explain "as their use required," which is less likely.In the temple.--And before the chancel (1Kings 7:49; 2Chronicles 4:20, infra). . . .
