Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 7:24

7:24 Knops - Carved or molten figures: for this word signifiesfigures or pictures of all sorts. Ten, &c. - So there were three hundredin all. Cast - Together with the sea; not carved. Two rows - It seemsdoubtful whether the second row had ten in each cubit, and so there werethree hundred more; or, whether the ten were distributed into five in eachrow.
