2 Crônicas 6:5-8 NVT

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 6:1-42

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 6:1-11

2. Solomon’s address 6:1-11Solomon repeated some of the promises in the Davidic Covenant publicly. His completion of the temple fulfilled part of what God had promised. Complete fulfillment required Solomon’s continued faithfulness to God (1 Chronicles 28:9). Unfortunately, Solomon was not completely faithful, so some of those promises remained unfulfilled. Another Son of David would fulfill them later.God had previously dwelt in the thick cloud on Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:21), as well as among... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 6:5

(5) My people out of the land of Egypt.—Kings, “My people Israel out of Egypt.” (Comp 2 Chronicles 5:10.) The Syr. and Arab. have Israel here also.Neither chose I any man to be a ruler (nâgîd) over my people Israel.—Neither this sentence nor the following is found in the parallel passage, where the second half of 2 Chronicles 6:6 forms the last clause of the preceding verse (1 Kings 8:16). The Syriac and Arabic here follow Kings as often. There is nothing in the language against the supposition... read more

The Blessing of Unrealized Aims 2 Chronicles 6:8 According to the old story, our own Queen Mary is reported to have said to her courtiers that after her death they would find the word Calais graven upon her heart so long had she brooded upon the loss of that French sea-coast town. Had you examined King David's heart you would have found graven upon it the picture of a temple. That temple had been David's dream. In vision he had for years seen it crowning the crest of Zion. Night and day he... read more

CHAPTER 6 Solomon’s Address and Dedicatory Prayer 1. Solomon’s address to the congregation (2 Chronicles 6:1-11 ) 2. Solomon’s dedicatory prayer (2 Chronicles 6:12-42 ) The report of Solomon’s address is the same as recorded in 1 Kings 8:12-21 . The opening statement of this chapter has been well characterized as a pregnant expression of the king’s realization of the mystery of the Being of Jehovah, the all-creative God, as well as the condescension displayed in His self-limitation to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 6:1-42

SOLOMON SPEAKS TO GOD AND TO THE PEOPLE (vv.1-11) Solomon began his inauguration address by first speaking to the Lord, reminding Him that He had said He would dwell in the dark cloud and that he (Solomon) had built this exalted house for the Lord to dwell in. Then he turned to address the whole assembly of Israel, the people standing at attention. We are told he blessed them, but the way he did this was by saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what... read more
