3:3 Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first {b} measure [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.(b) According to the whole length of the temple, read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 3:1-17

THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE (vv.1-17) We are reminded that the site of the temple was Mount Moriah, on property bought by David from Oman the Jebusite, where his threshing floor had been (v.1). For we must observe that the suffering of tribulation, as pictured in the threshing floor, must precede the joy of the establishing of God's house. Suffering must always come before glory (1 Peter 4:13). The date of beginning of building is carefully noted in verse 2, the second day of the second... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 3:1-17

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

2 Chronicles 3:1-17 . 1. Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father [rather, "which was shown to David his father"], in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Oman [or, Araunah. See 2 Samuel 24:18 ; 1Ch 21:18 ] the Jebusite. 2. And he began to build in the second day [omit "day;" many commentators would also omit "in the second." The verse would then run thus: "And he began to build in the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 3:1

CONTENTS The information in this Chapter, is in respect to the building of the temple. Here is an account of the spot, the time in which it was begun, the dimensions, extent, and ornaments of it. 2 Chronicles 3:1 Though we have a more particular account in 1 Kings 6:0 , (to which once for all I refer the Reader) of this temple, and the building of it by Solomon; yet, as the Holy Ghost hath been pleased to have it recorded again in this book of the Chronicles, it evidently implies the importance... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 3:2

It was thought an object of moment, to mark down the time also when this great work was begun. Believers in Jesus love to dwell particularly on the first temple-work building of grace in their souls. Some can trace these things more fully than others. Some, like the blind man whose eyes the Lord had opened, can hardly tell the time, or method by which the Lord began the work in their hearts. But it is a blessed thing when a poor sinner can say, One thing I know, that where, as I was blind, now... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 3:3-9

I have no doubt but that some interesting things are included in the dimensions, extent, and ornament. But all that we can speak of these things is, that as they were all belonging to a temple that was a type of Jesus, they were all suitably costly. Perhaps they represented the graces of his Person, and the gifts of his Spirit. But what ornaments of gold, or silver, or precious stones, are competent to resemble those! read more
