Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 4:1-22
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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 4:1-22
The Contents of the Temple1. An altar] This was in the Temple court. Though its construction is not described in Kings, it is mentioned in 1 Kings 8:64; 2 Kings 16:143. Oxen] rather, ’knops’ (i.e. gourds): see 1 Kings 7:24. 7. According to their form] RV ’According to the ordinance concerning them.’ In the temple] i.e. in the Holy Place.9. The great court] The word here used differs from that employed for ’the court of the priests.’ It was in the ’great court’ that the scaffold mentioned in 2... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 4:16
(16) The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks.—“Fleshhooks” (mizlâgôth) should apparently be “bowls” (mizrâqôth). (Comp. 2 Chronicles 4:1, and 1 Kings 7:45.) But in Exodus 27:3, pots and shovels and bowls and fleshhooks are mentioned in succession as utensils of the altar. Perhaps, therefore, both words should be read here and in Kings. LXX., καὶ τοὺς ποδιστήρας καὶ τοὺς . The Vulg. merely repeats 2 Chronicles 4:11 (et lebetes et creagras et phialas). A stop should follow the last;... read more

(17) In the clay ground.—Heb., in the thickness of the ground—i.e., in the stiff or clayey soil. Vulg., “in argillosa terra.” For ‘ăbî, “thickness,” see Job 15:26. Kings has ma‘ăbeh, which occurs nowhere else.Zeredathah.—Kings, Zârĕthân (Joshua 3:16). Zĕrçdâthâh means towards Zĕrĕthâh (1 Kings 11:26). The two names denote the same place. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 4:18
(18) Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance.—1 Kings 7:47, And Solomon left all the vessels (unweighed) from very great abundance. Our text may be due to a copyist, whose eye wandered to the beginning of the next verse; but it is possible that the chronicler missed the significance of the verb used in Kings, and therefore substituted an easier term. The further changes—“unto great abundance,” “for the weight,” &c.—suggest this account of the matter.Could not be found... read more
