3:1–5:1 Solomon’s Building of the Temple. The temple is to be a fit place for God to dwell among his people.
2 Chron. 3:1–17 The Chronicler’s actual account of the construction of the temple is much briefer than the account in 1 Kings 6. The temple did not function as a place of congregational worship. Only priests would have been admitted to the temple itself. Only on the Day of Atonement could the high priest enter the Most Holy Place.
2 Chron. 3:1 Mount Zion is identified here with Mount Moriah, where Abraham was commanded to offer Isaac (Gen. 22:2).
2 Chron. 3:2 Compare 1 Kings 6:1. Depending on which chronology is followed, this may have been in either 966 or 959 b.c.
2 Chron. 3:4 120 cubits. The Septuagint and other ancient versions of the OT suggest that the vestibule was actually 20 cubits (30 feet/9.1 m) high. The Hebrew text lacks the word “cubits,” so the precise height is uncertain.
2 Chron. 3:6 Parvaim. Possibly a place in northeastern Arabia.
2 Chron. 3:8–13 The Most Holy Place was the secret, cube-shaped room in which the ark of the covenant would be finally deposited (5:7). The cherubim were angelic beings that combined human and animal features (see Ezek. 10:14; 41:18–19). On the temple construction, see note on 1 Kings 6:14–35.
2 Chron. 3:14 The inclusion of the veil connected the temple with the Mosaic tabernacle (Ex. 26:31–35).
2 Chron. 3:15–17 thirty-five cubits high. Probably the combined heights of the pillars (see note on 1 Kings 7:15–21; see 1 Kings 7:15; 2 Kings 25:17). Jachin (“he establishes”); Boaz (“in him is strength”).
