Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - The two pillars (see the comment on ver. 13), one sea - rather, the one sea - and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord; the brass of all these vessels was without weight; i.e. the quantity of the brass was so large that it was not thought to be worth while to weigh it. When gold and silver vessels were carried off, their weight was carefully taken by the royal scribes or secretaries ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 1. p. 476), who placed it on record as a check upon embezzlement or peculation.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) The two pillars, (the) one sea . . .--A nominative absolute.All these vessels . . .--Those just mentioned, the two pillars, &c.Without weight.--A natural hyperbole closely resembling one which we often meet with in Assyrian accounts of the plunder carried off from conquered towns: "spoils without number 1 carried off."
