This chapter contains one important addition only to the narrative of Kings (see the marginal references); namely, the account of the circumstances under which the manifestation of the Divine Presence took place 2-Chronicles 5:11-13.

Brought in all the things - See the note on 1-Kings 7:51.

See Chapter Introduction

The ark was a type of Christ, and, as such, a token of the presence of God. That gracious promise, Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world, does, in effect, bring the ark into our religious assemblies, if we by faith and prayer plead that promise; and this we should be most earnest for. When Christ is formed in a soul, the law written in the heart, the ark of the covenant settled there, so that it becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, there is true satisfaction in that soul.

THE DEDICATED TREASURES. (2-Chronicles 5:1)
Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated--the immense sums and the store of valuable articles which his father and other generals had reserved and appropriated for the temple (1-Chronicles 22:14; 1-Chronicles 26:26).

2-Chronicles 5:1 contains the conclusion of the account of the preparation of the sacred utensils as in 1-Kings 7:51, and with it also the whole account of the building of the temple is brought to an end. The ו before את־הכּסף and את־הזּהב corresponds to the Lat. et - et, both - and also. As to David's offerings, cf. 1-Chronicles 18:10 and 1-Chronicles 18:11; and on the whole matter, compare also the remarks on 1-Kings 7:51.

The gold - The remainder of those vast sums mentioned, 1-Chronicles 22:14.
