2 Chronicles 6:5-6

6:5

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.

6:6

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.]

2 Chronicles 6:20

6:20

watch <05869> [thine eyes.]

live <08034 07760> [put thy name.]

place ................ place <04725> [toward this place. or, in this place.]
