V.(1) Thus.--And. This verse is identical with 1Kings 7:51. (The chronicler has made three slight corrections of the older text.) Brought in all the things . . . dedicated.--Brought in the holy (or hallowed) things of David his father. (Comp. 1Chronicles 18:11; 1Chronicles 26:26-28.) The implements.--Or, vessels. The word all is omitted by some MSS., and by the LXX., Syriac, and Arabic. "The holy things of David" are identical with "the silver and the gold and the vessels." THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE (2Chronicles 5:2 to 2Chronicles 7:22). . . . Verse 1. - The things that David... had dedicated; literally, Hebrew, the holy things; i.e. the dedicate or set apart things of David. The temple-building, which had been commenced in Solomon's fourth year, had occupied seven years in construction (1 Kings 6:1), but another thirteen years in furnishing (1 Kings 9:1, 2). The record of Chronicles is, of course, in some respects somewhat more sketchy than that of Kings; and the correct view of the chronology has in both writers to be sought and read between the lines. It was when the house and "all the work designed for the house of the Lord was finished," that (ver. 2) "Solomon assembled the elders," etc., and arranged for the solemn dedication; that is, when four years of his reign, and seven years of building and thirteen years of furnishing, etc., had elapsed.Parallel Commentaries ...
