The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:1-14

The first worship in the finished temple. The homiletic matter of this chapter may be said to be one. For we are, in fact, brought face to face with the central interest—the mystic presence, and veiled glory of the tabernacle or temple, in connection with the outer worship—the whole form of the outer worship of the Church visible of God's ancient people. This central interest means the ark—the ark of the covenant; the ark, with its two Divine autograph tables of stone; the ark, with... read more

The dedication of the temple: 1. The bringing-in of the ark. I. THE PREPARATION FOR THE CEREMONY . ( 2 Chronicles 5:1-4 .) 1 . The completion of the temple furniture. The manufacture of the various articles having been described in the preceding chapter, it is here briefly recorded that the whole work which Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished—a happy illustration of the proverb, "Better is the end of a thing," etc. ( Ecclesiastes 7:8 ). The work,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:2

Comparing the language of this and the following verse with that used on the occasion of David's bringing up of the ark to Zion, found in 2 Samuel 6:1 ; 1 Chronicles 13:1-14 and 1 Chronicles 15:1-29 , some have thought that a considerable difference of tone is perceptible, and that indication is given of the intention, or at any rate a feeling, even if more or less unconscious, on the part of Solomon, that times were ripe for a demonstration, that should partake less of the enthusiasm of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:2-13

Bringing in the ark. It was fitting enough that the ark which had been in the ancient tabernacle should be brought with much ceremony into the new temple. It linked the past and the future, and it associated two things which must be constantly kept together. It suggests to us— I. THE TRUE NATIONAL CONTINUITY . This was not found at all in the permanence of one form of government, for that had passed from a theocracy to a monarchy; nor was it found only or even chiefly in the... read more

In the feast which … in the seventh month ; i.e. the Feast of Tabernacles. This commenced on the fifteenth of the seventh month, named Ethanim (see 1 Kings 8:2 ). With this the festivals of the sacred year closed. read more

The Levites . So see Numbers 4:15 , Numbers 4:19 , Numbers 4:20 , which, with our Numbers 4:5 , Numbers 4:7 , throw this statement into sufficient harmony with that of the parallel ( 1 Kings 8:3 ), which purports to say that the priests only, unaided by the Kohathite Levites, performed the service. read more

In the parallel ( 1 Kings 8:4 ), the "and" in the last line of this verse does not need the italic type, but is found in the Hebrew text, confirming our version of 2 Chronicles 5:4 foregoing. The tabernacle of the congregation; or, tent of meeting, designs hero the tabernacle of Moses from Gibeon, and not the tent of Mount Zion ( 2 Samuel 6:17 ). This tabernacle, then, and these holy vessels all, are carried into the new temple, as venerated relics and sacred mementoes of a... read more

They drew out ; i.e. the staves projected. A similar intransitive occurs in Exodus 20:12 . Were seen from the ark . The words, "from the ark," are here probably by misposition, and should follow the words, the staves projected ; while the parallel tells us what should be in their place here, namely, "from the holy place" ( 1 Kings 8:8 ). The confusion and omission will merely lie with some copyists, for five manuscripts show the words "from the holy place." There it is unto this... read more
