So all the work
This phrase signifies the culmination of a monumental task. The Hebrew word for "work" here is "מְלָאכָה" (melakah), which often refers to craftsmanship or labor. It underscores the diligent and skilled efforts that went into constructing the temple, a project that required not only physical labor but also divine wisdom and guidance. This completion is a testament to the faithfulness and perseverance of Solomon and his people, reflecting the importance of dedication in fulfilling God's purposes.

that Solomon had performed
Solomon, whose name in Hebrew, "שְׁלֹמֹה" (Shlomo), means "peace," was chosen by God to build the temple, a place of peace and worship. His role as the builder of the temple highlights his wisdom and leadership, qualities that were divinely bestowed upon him. This phrase emphasizes Solomon's active participation and responsibility in the fulfillment of his father David's vision, showcasing the continuity of God's plan through generations.

for the house of the LORD
The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites. The Hebrew term "בֵּית יְהוָה" (Beit Yahweh) signifies not just a physical structure but a sacred space where God's presence dwells among His people. This phrase reminds us of the temple's spiritual significance as a symbol of God's covenant and His desire to dwell with His people.

was completed
The completion of the temple marks a significant milestone in Israel's history. The Hebrew root "כָּלָה" (kalah) means to finish or complete, indicating that the work was brought to its intended end. This completion is not just a physical achievement but a spiritual fulfillment of God's promise to David, demonstrating God's faithfulness and the importance of obedience to His commands.

Then Solomon brought in
This action signifies a transition from construction to consecration. The Hebrew verb "בּוֹא" (bo) means to bring or to come, indicating Solomon's role in sanctifying the temple by bringing in the sacred items. It reflects the importance of preparing a place for worship and ensuring that it is filled with items dedicated to God's service.

the things his father David had dedicated
David, Solomon's father, had set aside treasures for the temple, showing his devotion and foresight. The Hebrew word "קָדַשׁ" (qadash) means to consecrate or dedicate, highlighting the sacredness of these items. This phrase underscores the generational faithfulness and the importance of honoring the commitments made by previous generations in the service of God.

the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings
These materials represent the wealth and resources dedicated to God's house. Silver and gold, often associated with purity and value, symbolize the best offerings given to God. The furnishings, crafted with skill and care, reflect the beauty and order of God's creation. This phrase reminds us of the importance of giving our best to God and the role of material resources in worship.

and he placed them in the treasuries
The act of placing these items in the treasuries signifies stewardship and the careful management of God's resources. The Hebrew word "אוֹצָר" (otzar) means treasury or storehouse, indicating a place of safekeeping. This phrase highlights the responsibility of God's people to protect and preserve what is dedicated to Him, ensuring that His house is well-equipped for worship.

of the house of God
This final phrase reaffirms the temple's identity as God's dwelling place. The Hebrew term "בֵּית אֱלֹהִים" (Beit Elohim) emphasizes the divine ownership and sanctity of the temple. It serves as a reminder that all efforts and resources dedicated to the temple are ultimately for God's glory and purpose, calling believers to a life of worship and reverence.

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.
