Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this is the number of them,.... Of the vessels delivered, as follows:
thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver; these, according to Ben Melech, were vessels in which water was put to wash hands in; but rather they were, as Aben Ezra observes from the Jerusalem Talmud r, vessels in which they gathered the blood of lambs and bullocks slain for sacrifices:
nine and twenty knives; which, because the handles of them were of gold or silver, were valuable, and might be very large knives, and what the priests used in slaying and cutting up the sacrifices.
r T. Hieros. Yoma, fol. 41. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Chargers - The word in the original thus translated occurs only in this passage. Its meaning is doubtful. Some derive it from a Hebrew root, “to hollow out,” and translate “cup” or “vessel.”
Knives - This is another doubtful word, only used here. The etymology points to some employment of basket-work.
