2 Chronicles 4

2Ch 4:1

A BRONZE ALTAR TWENTY CUBITS LONG...: The altar of brass Solomon made is four times as big as the one that was made in the wilderness (Exo 27:1). The absence of other details besides its size might mean that the details given in Exo would form the basis for its manufacture.

The absence of any mention of staves to carry it indicates that the altar was now in a permanent resting place.

2Ch 4:5

How to reconcile 1Ki 7:26 and 2Ch 4:5? The Jewish Targum specifies: "3,000 baths dry measure; 2,000 baths liquid measure."
