2 Chronicles 6:1-9
Lord <03068> [The Lord.]
built <01129> [I have built.]
turned around <05437 06440> [turned his face.]
blessing <01288> [blessed.]
assembly <06951> [all the congregation.]
worthy <01288> [Blessed.]
<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.]
