1 Kings 7:47
"And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Targum is, he laid them up, or placed them; he brought them from whence they were cast, and put them in the sanctuary without weighing them: neither was the weight of the brass found out; or "searched" (i); it never was inquired into; or, as the Targum, there was no end of it, it was so much. (i) "nec invesigari potuerit", Tigurine version: "non pervestigatum est", Junius, Tremellius, Piscator.
