2 Chronicles 6:5 (King James Version)
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
- Since the day
- 2 Samuel 7:6 2 Samuel 7:7 ; 1 Kings 8:16
- my name
- Exodus 20:24 ; 23:21 Deuteronomy 12:5 Deuteronomy 12:11 ; Daniel 9:19
- 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.
