1 Kings 7:48

Verse 48 of 51. The 7th of 22 chapters in 1 Kings, in History.

44And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

Matthew Henry on 1 Kings 7:48

The altar of incense was still one, for Christ and his intercession are so: but he made ten golden tables, 2 Chron. iv. 8 (though here mention is made of that one only on which the show-bread was, v. 48, which we may suppose was larger than the rest and to which the rest were as side-boards), and ten golden candlesticks (v. 49), intimating the much greater plenty both of spiritual food and heavenly light which the gospel blesses us…
