Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - A brazen scaffold. The Hebrew word is כִּיּור. The word occurs twenty-one times. It is translated, in the Authorized Version, "laver" eighteen times, once "pan" (1 Samuel 2:14), once "hearth" (Zechariah 12:6), and once "scaffold," here. The meaning evidently is that the stand was in some sort basin-shaped.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold.--This verse is not in Kings. But it may once have followed 1Kings 8:22. At least, marks of the chronicler's individual style are not apparent in it.Scaffold.--Literally, pan (kiyor; see 2Chronicles 4:6). The "scaffold" looked like a "laver" turned upside down, and was doubtless hollow underneath. (Comp. Nehemiah 9:4 for an analogous structure.)Kneeled down upon his knees, and spread forth his hands.--An attitude of prayer which may be seen figured upon the monuments of ancient Egypt.Toward heaven (ha-sh?m??y'm?h).--The chronicler has used the exact form for the less precise hash?m??ayim of 1Kings 8:22. . . .
