CHARGER.—An obsolete word for a large flat dish on which meat was served. The Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] everywhere substitutes ‘platter,’ e.g. Num_7:13 ff., Mat_14:8 and parallels.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("what bore any weight".) A hollow plate for presenting offerings of fine flour and oil (Num_7:79). Among the vessels of the temple taken by Nebuchadnezzar and restored by Cyrus, and brought back by Sheshbazzar (Ezr_1:9). In such a "charger" John's head was presented to the cruel Herodias (Mat_14:8).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Charger. A shallow vessel for receiving water or blood, also for presenting offerings of fine flour with oil. Num_7:79 The daughter of Herodias brought the head of St. John the Baptist in a charger, Mat_14:8 probably a trencher or platter. See Basin.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


char?jer (the American Standard Revised Version ?platter?): A word which meant in the older English speech a flat dish or platter. It is used in the Bible as the translation (1) of קערה, ḳe‛ārāh, which in Num_7:19 the King James Version (the Revised Version (British and American) ?platter?) and repeatedly in that chapter denotes one of the gifts made by the several princes at the dedication of the tabernacle; (2) of אגרטל, 'ăgharṭāl, a word of uncertain derivation used in Ezr_1:9 (the King James Version) twice to designate certain temple vessels which might better be called ?libation bowls?; (3) of πίναξ, pı́nax, used Mat_14:8, Mat_14:11; Mar_6:25, Mar_6:28 (EV) for the dish in which the head of John the Baptist was presented.

The silver vessels offered by the heads of the tribes for the service of the Tabernacle (Numbers 8) are thus termed in our translation, being in the original קְעָרָה(keärah´, literally a deep dish), a bowl, elsewhere rendered "dish" (Exo_25:29; Exo_36:16; Num_4:7). These are said to have been of silver, and to have weighed each 130 shekels, or 65 oz. (Hussey, Anc. Weights, chap. 9, p. 190). The "charger" upon which the Baptist's head was presented to Herodias (comp. Homer, Il. 1:141) must have been a large platter (πίναξ, strictly a broad tablet [comp. πινακίδιον a writing-tablet, Luk_1:63], hence a wooden trencher, Mat_14:8; Mat_14:11; Mar_6:25; Mar_6:28; rendered "platter" in Luk_11:39). The "chargers" of gold and silver, in Ezr_1:9 (אֲגִרְטָל, agartal'), were probably, as interpreted by the Sept., Vulg., and Syriac, basins for containing the blood of sacrifices; although others make them to have been baskets for first-fruit offerings.
