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 4:11
pots <05518> [the pots.]
bowls <04219> [basons. or, bowls. finished. Heb. finished to make.]
2 Chronicles 7:5
<02077> [a sacrifice.]
22,000 .... 120,000 <08147 06242> [twenty and two.]
The number of sheep and oxen here mentioned has to some appeared incredibly large; but it must be considered that a prodigious number of persons was now at Jerusalem, and that this was the amount of all the victims that had been offered during the seven days of the feast of tabernacles, as well as the time the feast of the dedication lasted.
dedicated <02596> [dedicated.]
2 Chronicles 23:9
spears <02595> [spears.]
temple <01004> [which were in the house.]
When the soldier retired from the tumults of war to the bosom of his family, he frequently hung up his arms in the temple, as a grateful acknowledgment of the protection he had received, and of the victories he had won. It is highly probable, therefore, that the arms of David which Jehoiada delivered to the captains of hundreds, "which were in the house of God," were laid up in the tabernacle by David when he resigned the command of his armies to his generals; and there is reason to believe that his conduct, in this respect, was followed by many of his companions in arms.
