1 Chronicles 22:9-10

22:9 Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man. ¹  I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. ²  Indeed, Solomon ³  will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign. ⁴  22:10 He will build a temple to honor me; ⁵  he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel.’ ⁶ 

1 Chronicles 28:6-10

28:6 He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build my temple and my courts, for I have chosen him to become my son and I will become his father. 28:7 I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’ ⁷  28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ⁸  Carefully observe ⁹  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey ¹⁰  the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, ¹¹  for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, ¹²  but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently. 28:10 Realize ¹³  now that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

1 Chronicles 28:1

Ezra 5:11

5:11 They responded to us in the following way: ‘We are servants of the God of heaven and earth. We are rebuilding the temple which was previously built many years ago. A great king ³⁹  of Israel built it and completed it.

Zechariah 6:12-13

6:12 Then say to him, ‘The Lord who rules over all says, “Look – here is the man whose name is Branch, ⁴⁰  who will sprout up from his place and build the temple of the Lord. 6:13 Indeed, he will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest ⁴¹  with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

John 2:19-21

2:19 Jesus replied, ⁴²  “Destroy ⁴³  this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.” 2:20 Then the Jewish leaders ⁴⁴  said to him, “This temple has been under construction ⁴⁵  for forty-six years, ⁴⁶  and are you going to raise it up in three days?” 2:21 But Jesus ⁴⁷  was speaking about the temple of his body. ⁴⁸ 

Acts 7:47-48

7:47 But Solomon built a house ⁴⁹  for him. 7:48 Yet the Most High ⁵⁰  does not live in houses made by human hands, ⁵¹  as the prophet says,

Colossians 2:9

2:9 For in him all the fullness of deity lives ⁵²  in bodily form,

[22:9]  ¹ tn Heb “man of rest.”

[22:9]  ² tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

[22:9]  ³ sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

[22:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “in his days.”

[22:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “for my name.”

[22:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

[28:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “if he is strong to do my commands and my regulations like this day.”

[28:8]  ⁸ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”

[28:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “know.”

[28:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “with a complete heart and a willing being.”

[28:9]  ¹² tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”

[28:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “see.”

[28:1]  ¹⁴ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[5:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

[3:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:4]  ¹⁷ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[3:5]  ¹⁸ tn “Shimea” (שִׁמְעָא, shim’a’) is a variant spelling of “Shammua” (שַׁמּוּעַ, shammua’; see 2 Sam 5:14). Some English versions use the spelling “Shammua” here (e.g., NIV, NCV).

[3:5]  ¹⁹ tn Most Hebrew mss read “Bathshua” here, but 2 Sam 12:24 makes it clear Bathsheba was Solomon’s mother. “Bathsheba” is read by one Hebrew ms and the Vulgate. Many English translations (e.g., NAB, NIV, NLT) render the name “Bathsheba” to avoid confusion.

[3:5]  ²⁰ tn In 2 Sam 11:3 Bathsheba is called “the daughter of Eliam,” while here her father’s name is given as “Ammiel.”

[3:6]  ²¹ tn All but two Hebrew mss read “Elishama” here, but 1 Chr 14:5 lists the name as “Elishua,” and is followed by a number of English versions here (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT). Another son named “Elishama” is listed in 3:8.

[3:6]  ²² tn The MT reads “Eliphelet” here, but 1 Chr 14:5 lists the name as “Elpelet” and is followed by some English versions here (e.g., TEV, NLT). Another son named “Eliphelet” is listed in 3:8.

[3:9]  ²³ sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

[3:11]  ²⁴ sn Joram is a variant spelling of the name “Jehoram.”

[3:16]  ²⁵ tn Heb “Jeconiah,” a variation of the name “Jehoiachin” (also in v. 17).

[3:17]  ²⁶ tn Heb “prisoner.” Jehoiachin was carried off to Babylon as a prisoner. See 2 Chr 36:10.

[4:9]  ²⁷ tn In Hebrew the name יַעְבֵּץ (ya’bets, “Jabez”) sounds like the noun עֹצֶב (’otsev) which means “pain.”

[4:10]  ²⁸ tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.

[4:10]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”

[4:10]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[4:12]  ³¹ tn Or “of the city of Nahash.”

[4:13]  ³² tc “Meonothai” is read here by some mss of the LXX, along with the Vulgate. The name apparently was dropped from the Hebrew text by haplography. Note that the name appears at the beginning of the next verse as well.

[4:14]  ³³ tn Heb “the father of Ge Harashim, for they were craftsmen.” The name “Ge Harashim” means “valley of craftsmen.”

[4:15]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and the sons of Elah and Kenaz.” Kenaz was actually the son of Elah.

[4:17]  ³⁵ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”

[4:18]  ³⁶ tn Heb “took,” referring to taking in marriage.

[4:20]  ³⁷ tn Or “and the son of Zoheth” (NAB). The word בֶּן (ben) in Hebrew means “son [of].”

[4:22]  ³⁸ tn Heb “and the words are old.”

[5:11]  ³⁹ sn This great king of Israel would, of course, be Solomon.

[6:12]  ⁴⁰ tn The epithet “Branch” (צֶמַח, tsemakh) derives from the verb used here (יִצְמָח, yitsmakh, “will sprout up”) to describe the rise of the Messiah, already referred to in this manner in Zech 3:8 (cf. Isa 11:1; 53:2; Jer 33:15). In the immediate context this refers to Zerubbabel, but the ultimate referent is Jesus (cf. John 19:5).

[6:13]  ⁴¹ sn The priest here in the immediate context is Joshua but the fuller and more distant allusion is to the Messiah, a ruling priest. The notion of the ruler as a priest-king was already apparent in David and his successors (Pss 2:2, 6-8; 110:2, 4), and it finds mature expression in David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, who will combine both offices in his kingship (Heb 5:1-10; 7:1-25).

[2:19]  ⁴² tn Grk “answered and said to them.”

[2:19]  ⁴³ tn The imperative here is really more than a simple conditional imperative (= “if you destroy”); its semantic force here is more like the ironical imperative found in the prophets (Amos 4:4, Isa 8:9) = “Go ahead and do this and see what happens.”

[2:20]  ⁴⁴ tn See the note on this phrase in v. 18.

[2:20]  ⁴⁵ tn A close parallel to the aorist οἰκοδομήθη (oikodomhqh) can be found in Ezra 5:16 (LXX), where it is clear from the following verb that the construction had not yet been completed. Thus the phrase has been translated “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years.” Some, however, see the term ναός (naos) here as referring only to the sanctuary and the aorist verb as consummative, so that the meaning would be “this temple was built forty-six years ago” (so ExSyn 560-61). Ultimately in context the logic of the authorities’ reply appears to fit more naturally if it compares length of time for original construction with length of time to reconstruct it.

[2:20]  ⁴⁶ sn According to Josephus (Ant. 15.11.1 [15.380]), work on this temple was begun in the 18th year of Herod the Great’s reign, which would have been ca. 19 b.c. (The reference in the Ant. is probably more accurate than the date given in J. W. 1.21.1 [1.401]). Forty-six years later would be around the Passover of a.d. 27/28.

[2:21]  ⁴⁷ tn Grk “that one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This Greek term is frequently used as a way of referring to Jesus in the Johannine letters (cf. 1 John 2:6; 3:3, 5, 7, 16; 4:17).

[2:21]  ⁴⁸ tn The genitive “of his body” (τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, tou swmato" autou) is a genitive of apposition, clarifying which temple Jesus was referring to. Thus, Jesus not only was referring to his physical resurrection, but also to his participation in the resurrection process. The New Testament thus records the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as all performing the miracle of Christ's resurrection.

[7:47]  ⁴⁹ sn See 1 Kgs 8:1-21.

[7:48]  ⁵⁰ sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).

[7:48]  ⁵¹ sn The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1-34).

[2:9]  ⁵² sn In him all the fullness of deity lives. The present tense in this verse (“lives”) is significant. Again, as was stated in the note on 1:19, this is not a temporary dwelling, but a permanent one. Paul’s point is polemical against the idea that the fullness of God dwells anywhere else, as the Gnostics believed, except in Christ alone. At the incarnation, the second person of the Trinity assumed humanity, and is forever the God-man.
