2 Chronicles 1:1 1 2 Chronicles 1:10 The Second Book of the Chronicles 1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.* 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 7 ¶ In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.† 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that * 1.5 he put: or, was there † 1.9 like…: Heb. -
2 Chronicles Chapter 5
2 Chronicles Chapter 5 2 Chronicles 5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in [all] the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. The temple took 7 years to build and was completed in Solomon’s 11th year (959 B.C.), in the eighth month (compare 1 Kings 6:38). Since it was dedicated in the seventh month (5:3), its dedication occurred 11 months later to coincide with the Feast of Booths, or Tabernacles (see note on 1 Kings 8:2). Why is there so much emphasis in the Old Testament on the temple? (1) It was the center of worship that called people to correct belief through the generations; (2) It was the symbol of God’s presence with His people; (3) It was the symbol of forgiveness and grace, reminding the people of the seriousness of sin and the availability of mercy; (4) It prepared the people for the true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who would take away sin; (5) It was a place of prayer (compare 7:12-17). Much of the “silver” and “gold” used in the temple came from the spoils of the many battles King David had fought as well as from his personal resources. Following the example of their king, the people of Israel also gave freely to support the temple (1 Chron. 29:1-9). The temple which began in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon, took 7 years to construct. -
2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's Solemn Offering at Gibeon, 2Ch 1:1-6
2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's solemn offering at Gibeon, 2Ch_1:1-6. His choice of wisdom is blessed by God, 2Ch_1:7-12. His strength and wealth, 1Ch_1:13-17. Was strengthened, or established , after his seditious brother Adonijah and his partisans were suppressed; and he was received with the universal consent and joy of his princes and people. 2 Chronicles 1:2 Then Solomon spake, to wit, concerning his intention of going to Gibeon, and that they should attend him thither, as the next verse shows. 2 Chronicles 1:3 To the high place; upon which the tabernacle was placed; whence it is called the great high place , 1Ki_3:4. 2 Chronicles 1:4 He separated the ark from the tabernacle, and brought it to Jerusalem, because there he intended to build a far more noble and lasting habitation for it. 2 Chronicles 1:5 He put; either Moses, mentioned 2Ch_1:3, or Bezaleel, here last named, by the command and direction of Moses; or David, who may be said to put it there, because he continued it there, and did not remove it, as he did the ark from the tabernacle. Sought unto it, i.e. sought the Lord and his favour by hearty prayers and sacrifices in the place which God had appointed for that work, Lev_17:3,4. 2 Chronicles 1:6 i.e. Which altar. But that he had now said, 2Ch_1:5, and therefore would not unnecessarily repeat it. Or rather, who ; and so these words are emphatical, and contain a reason why Solomon went thither, because the Lord was there graciously present to hear prayers and receive sacrifices. -

2 Chronicles 1:1 1 2 Chronicles 1:10 The Second Book of Chronicles 1 Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and Yahweh* his God† was with him, and made him exceedingly great. 2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thou- sands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households. 3 Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which Yahweh’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness. 4 But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before Yahweh’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. 6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. 7 That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.” 8 Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. -
2 Chronicles
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE 2 Chronicles BOB UTLEY PROFESSOR OF HERMENEUTICS (BIBLE INTERPRETATION) STUDY GUIDE COMMENTARY SERIES OLD TESTAMENT VOL. 7B BIBLE LESSONS INTERNATIONAL MARSHALL, TEXAS 2017 INTRODUCTION TO 1 AND 2 CHRONICLES I. NAME OF THE BOOK A. The name of the book in Hebrew is “the words (events) of the days (years).” This is used in the sense of “a chronicle of the years.” These same words occur in the title of several books mentioned as written sources in 1 Kings 14:19,29; 15:7,23,31; 16:5,14,20,27; 22:46. The phrase itself is used over thirty times in 1 and 2 Kings and is usually translated “chronicles.” B. The LXX entitled it “the things omitted (concerning the Kings of Judah).” This implies that Chronicles is to Samuel and Kings what the Gospel of John is to the Synoptic Gospels. See How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, pp. 127-148. As the Gospel writers under inspiration (see Special Topic: Inspiration) had the right to select, adapt, and arrange the life of Jesus (not invent actions or words), so too, the inspired authors of OT narratives (see Expository Hermeneutics: An Introduction, by Elliott E. Johnson, p. 169). This selection, adaptation, and chronological/thematic arrangement of words/events was to convey theological truth. History is used as a servant of theology. Chronicles has suffered, much as the Gospel of Mark did. They were both seen as “Readers Digest” summaries and not “a full history.” This is unfortunate! Both have an inspired message. -
2 Chronicles 5 • the Things That Count Introduction the Goal of Walk with the Word Is to Learn to Personally Apply God’S Word
2 Chronicles 5 • The Things That Count Introduction The goal of Walk with the Word is to learn to personally apply God’s Word. When we come to historical accounts in Scripture, we need to look for their deeper spiritual meaning as to what they were teaching the people of that time, as well as how it might be relevant to us today. Whenever the Bible discusses the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit is trying to teach us something about God’s Word. How people handled and treated the Ark provides lessons of what happens when we apply correctly or mishandle God’s Word, both as individuals and as a church. Some people might list the Bible as but a number of icons that can be identified with Christianity, but not all these things are to be equally employed. Even the things of God have to be give their proper place. How we rank and employ them is a witness to the quality and direction of our faith. As with the return of the Ark to the temple, people can see what kind of priority we give God’s Word. 1Thus all the work that Solomon [Read v.1] performed for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the Observation: Some scholars question the accuracy of Scripture in its accounting things that David his father had dedicated, of how much treasure was accumulated by David. This is because when even the silver and the gold and all the compared to ancient accounting records of other kings’ or nations’ treasures, utensils, and put them in the treasuries of David’s is so much more staggeringly larger. -
2 Chronicles 1
The Second Book Of The Chronicles The Argument This second book containeth briefly in effect that, which is comprehended in the two books of the Kings: that is, from the reign of Solomon to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the carrying away of the people captive into Babylon. In this story are certain things declared and set forth more copiously than in the books of the Kings, and therefore serve greatly to the understanding of the Prophets. But three things are here chiefly to be considered. First, that the godly kings, when they saw the plagues of God prepared against their country for sin, had recourse to the Lord, and by earnest prayer were heard, and the plagues removed. The second, how it is a thing that greatly offendeth God, how the good rulers ever loved the Prophets of God, and were very zealous to set forth his religion throughout all their dominions, and contrariwise, the wicked hated his ministers, deposed them, and for the true religion and word of God, set up idolatry, and served God according to the fantasy of men. Thus have we hitherto the chief acts from the beginning of the world to the building again of Jerusalem, which was the two and thirtieth year of Darius, and contain in the whole, three thousand, five hundred, threescore and eighteen years, and six months. 2 Chronicles 1......................................................................................................................... 3 2 Chronicles 2........................................................................................................................ -

2 CHRONICLES 1) 1:1 – the Negative Undercurrents of Solomon's
2 CHRONICLES 1) 1:1 – The negative undercurrents of Solomon’s accession in 1 Kings 2 is summed up in this one sentence. 2) 1:5b – “inquired at it” – better “required of it” – the altar. Bezalel was commissioned by Moses to build the tent, the ark, the mercy seat, the altar, all the ritual furnishing, vestments for Aaron and his sons. The reference here signals a new form of worship, a “grand farewell to the tabernacle and it old setting,” phasing out the Torah-based worship before launching the Temple age. (See Wisdom of Solomon 7:1-12) 3) 1:10-12 – Concentrates on his wealth rather than on his wisdom as in 1 Kings 3:12. Gold will be as common as stones in Jerusalem. In the new Jerusalem the streets will be paved with gold (Revelation 21:21). Jesus, too, received gold at his birth, as an implicit pledge of his royal glory (Matthew 2:11, 25, 31). 4) 2:7-12 – Solomon is regarded by the chronicler typologically as a second Bezalel, and Huran as a second Aholiah, offering theologically that the Temple is a second tabernacle. 5) 2:17-18 – Leviticus 25:39-45 and Deuteronomy 20:11 permit the use of aliens as forced labor. 6) REFLECTIONS ON 2 CHRONICLES 1:1 – 2:18 The chronicler uses Solomon’s preparation for building the temple to express several theological themes: 1) Solomon reflects God’s greatness, receiving Hiram’s building material and homage; 2) aliens serve Solomon in a Gentile setting; 3) Solomon is God’s viceroy; 4) The greatness (magnificence) of the temple reflects the Lord’s greatness.
