The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 2:2

The presence of this verse here, and the composition of it, may probably mark some corruptness of text or error of copyists, as the first two words of it are the proper first two words of 2 Chronicles 2:17 , and the remainder of it shows the proper contents of 2 Chronicles 2:18 , which are not only in other aspects apparently in the right place there, but also by analogy of the parallel ( 1 Kings 5:15 , 1 Kings 5:16 ).

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 2:1-18

Construction of the temple (2:1-7:22)With the help of King Hiram of Tyre, Solomon prepared materials and arranged a workforce to build the planned temple (2:1-18; see notes on 1 Kings 5:1-18). Construction went on for seven years, until the temple, its furniture, its courtyard, and all other articles and decorations connected with it were completed according to plan (3:1-5:1; see notes on 1 Kings 6:1-7:51). The temple was then dedicated to God (5:2-7:22; see notes on 1 Kings 8:1-9:9). read more
