2 Chronicles 3:3
Solomon <08010> [A.M. 2993-3000. B.C. 1011-1004. Solomon.]
foundation <03245> [instructed. Heb. founded. The length.]
old standard ... measure <04060 07223> [the first measure.]
It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity: and, as these Books were written after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile some variations in the historical books, with respect to numbers when applied to measures.
2 Chronicles 14:6
built <01129> [And he built.]

2 Chronicles 18:10
iron horns <01270 07161> [horns of iron.]
Mr. Bruce, in describing the head-dress of the governors of Abyssinia, says, "A large broad fillet was bound upon their forehead, and tied behind their head: in the middle of this was a horn, or conical piece of silver, gilt, about four inches long, much in the shape of our common candle extinguishers. This is called {kirn,} {[keren,]} and is only worn in reviews, or parades after victory." Such, it may be supposed, were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made for himself, when he presumed, in the name of Jehovah, to flatter his prince with the promise of victory: "Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until they be consumed."

Lord .................. Lord <03068> [and the Lord.]
2 Chronicles 21:2
Israel <03478> [Israel.]
Jehoshaphat was certainly not king of Israel, but of Judah: {Yisra‰l} must therefore be a mistake for {Yehoodah;} which is the reading of thirty-eight of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and of the Syriac, Arabic, Septuagint, and Vulgate.
2 Chronicles 29:32
total <04557> [the number.]
Comparing the sacrifices offered on this occasion with those of Solomon at the dedication of the temple, we may form some idea of the decrease of the prosperity and riches of Judah, or of the decline of the general spirit of piety.
2 Chronicles 32:1

King .... Assyria <04428 0804> [king of Assyria.]
