L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 5:1-14

DAVID'S PROVISIONS PUT IN THE TEMPLE (v.1) The work of building being completed, Solomon also brought into the temple the things that David had collected and dedicated to the Lord, silver and gold and other furnishings. These were put in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, evidently in a different room than either of the sanctuaries. But the reminder of David's part was not to be lost, for he had put down the enemies of the Lord. THE ARK PUT IN ITS PROPER PLACE (vv.2-14) The... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:1-14

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 5:1-14

2 Chronicles 5:0 1. Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated [see 1 Chronicles 18:8-10 , 1 Chronicles 18:11 ; 1 Chronicles 22:3-5 , 1Ch 22:14-16 ; 1 Chronicles 28:14-18 ; 1 Chronicles 29:2-5 . The accumulation was enormous], and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 2. ¶ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:11-14

What sublimity is there in this account; short as it is. The Lord's approbation of this temple is the most interesting part; in filling the house with a cloud. The Reader will not, I hope, overlook that the approbation of Jesus was by a voice coming out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 17:5 . Observe, moreover, that all the manifestations before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ were through the medium of clouds and ordinances. But when the Son... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 5:11-14

11-14 God took possession of the temple; he filled it with a cloud. Thus he signified his acceptance of this temple, to be the same to him that the tabernacle of Moses was, and assured his people that he would be the same in it. Would we have God dwell in our hearts, we must leave room for him; every thing else must give way. The Word was made flesh; and when he comes to his temple, like a refiner's fire, who may abide the day of his coming? May he prepare us for that day. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 5:11-14

The Glory of the Lord in the Temple v. 11. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the Holy Place; (for all the priests that were present were sanctified and did not then wait by course; on account of the greatness of the festival and the unusual number of sacrifices all the priests were required, and so they all, without regard to any courses, were sanctified for the work; v. 12. also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 5:1-14

Construction being completed, the happy and solemn ceremony of dedication by the people and consecration by God followed immediately. With awe-inspiring dignity the Ark of God was carried to its resting place-not a new one, but which for long years had been the very center of the nation's lifer Its progress to position was accompanied by vast sacrifices, which spoke eloquently and solemnly of sinful men's only way of approach to God. Then came a great burst of harmony in which vocal and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 5:2-14

2 Chronicles 5:2 to 2 Chronicles 7:10 . The Dedication of the Temple (see notes on 1 Kings 8).— The chief points of difference between the Chronicler’ s account and 1 Kings 8 are: ( a) that in 2 Chronicles 5:4 the Levites are the bearers of the Ark ( cf. 1 Chronicles 15:2; 1 Chronicles 15:26 f.) instead of the priests as in 1 Kings 8:3; ( b) that in 2 Chronicles 5:5 “ and” is omitted between “ the priests the Levites,” the two being thus identified; the omission may, however, be merely a... read more
