Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 9:1-31

E. Solomon’s Successes chs. 8-9This section of the text is similar to 1 Chronicles 18-21. Those chapters showed how God kept His promises to David that the Chronicler recorded in 1 Chronicles 17:8-12. These chapters (8-9) show how God kept His promise to Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1:12 and 2 Chronicles 7:17-18. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 9:1-31

The Visit of the Queen of Sheba. Solomon’s SplendourThis chapter is a close repetition of 1 Kings 10:1-28 and 1 Kings 11:41-43.8. On his throne] i.e. God’s throne: see on 1 Chronicles 28:5.10. 11. These vv. should follow 2 Chronicles 9:12.11. Terraces] 1 Kings 10:12 has ’pillars’ (or balustrades).12. That which she had brought] 1 Kings 10:13 has ’beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty.’21. The king’s ships went to Tarshish] If this is not a misunderstanding of the phrase ’ships... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 9:4

(4) And his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord.—Kings, “And his burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord.” The LXX., Syr., and Vulg. here agree with Kings; and the Arab. reads, “the altar on which he offered.” In all other passages, the word used in our text (‘alîyâh) means not ascent, but upper chamber; it is likely, therefore, that in the present instance it is merely an error of transcription for the term occurring in Kings (‘ôlâh, “burnt-offering”). read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 9:1-31

THE VISIT OF THE QUEEN OF SHEBA (vv.1-12) The report of the visit of the Queen of Sheba with Solomon differs only in few details from the report in 1 Kings 10:1-29. But her visit is a lovely picture of the great interest in the Lord Jesus that will be awakened among the Gentiles when He takes His kingdom, and the glad response when they witness His wisdom and his glory. She came to test him with hard questions. Whatever hard questions we have, the Lord Jesus can be depended on to answer... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 9:1-31

SOLOMON ’S REIGN HIS PRAYER AND ITS ANSWER (2 Chronicles 1:1-3 ) With verses three and four compare 1 Chronicles 16:0 , and especially 1 Chronicles 16:37-40 . The tabernacle at Gibeon was the legal place for worship, but the threshing-floor on Matthew Moriah was chosen by David for the reason given (1 Chronicles 21:29 ). A comparison with the corresponding place in 1 Kings will show how this account is abbreviated as the matter was not necessary to the author’s purpose. HIS POWER AND... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 9:1-4

2Ch 9:1-4 1. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions [or, riddles. A very pointed sentence, indicating a deeper truth and leading to thought. (Comp. Ezekiel 17:2 .) This wisdom, couched in apothegms and riddles, in which Solomon not only distinguished himself, but had an encounter with Hiram of Tyre, was quite a familiar exercise with the Arabs] at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels [bearing the products of her land]... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 9:1-12

The account here given of the visit of the queen of Sheba is so exact with that given in 1 Kings 10:0 that I think it needless to detain the Reader, but rather to refer him to that scripture, and the Commentary upon it. Oh! what a reproach is it now, and what an everlasting condemnation will it be in the world to come, to thousands, and tens of thousands, who so far from taking a long and wearisome journey, as this poor woman did, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, cannot be prevailed upon to hear... read more
