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 5:2-13
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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:1-14
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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 5:1-10
This agrees with what we had 1 Kgs. 8:2-10, where an account was given of the solemn introduction of the ark into the new-erected temple. 1. There needed no great solemnity for the bringing in of the dedicated things, 2 Chron. 5:1. They added to the wealth, and perhaps were so disposed as to add to the beauty of it; but they could not add to the holiness, for it was the temple that sanctified the gold, Matt. 23:17. See how just Solomon was both to God and to his father. Whatever David had... read more
