2 Chronicles 6:1-11
Lord <03068> [The Lord.]
built <01129> [I have built.]
turned around <05437 06440> [turned his face.]

<03027> [who hath with.]
day <03117> [Since the day.]
live <08034> [my name.]
chosen ..................... choose <0977> [neither chose.]
The judges and Saul were chosen by God, for a season, to be rulers of Israel; but not to establish a permanent and hereditary authority over that people, as was the case with David. This clause is wanting in the parallel passage of Kings; but it helps to clear the sense.
chosen Jerusalem .......... chosen <0977 03389> [But I have chosen Jerusalem.]
This clause is also not found in Kings. Jerusalem was expressly marked out, by the building of the temple, to be the centre of the worship of Israel; as Jehovah had before spoken by Moses: see the parallel passages.
chosen ........... chosen David <01732 0977> [chosen David.]
is right <02895> [thou didst well.]
son <01121> [thy son.]

Lord ........................ Lord ............. Lord <03068> [as the Lord.]
set ......... ark <0727 07760> [I put the ark.]
covenant <01285> [the covenant.]
As "there was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone," consequently they are called the covenant, i.e., a sign of the covenant.
2 Chronicles 17:7-9
sent <07971> [A.M. 3092. B.C. 912. he sent.]
In these verse we have an account of a remarkable itinerant ministry established by Jehoshaphat, in which three classes of men were employed: 1. the Princes; 2. the Levites; 3. the Priests. We may presume that the Princes instructed the people in the nature of the civil law and constitution of the kingdom; that the Levites instructed them in every thing that appertained to the temple service, and ritual law; and that the Priests instructed them in the nature and design of their religion. Thus the nation became thoroughly instructed in their duty to God, to the king, and to each other; they therefore became as one man; and against a people thus united, on such principles, no enemy could be successful.
