2 Crónicas 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 2:8

Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of
Lebanon
Of the two first of these, and which Hiram sent, see ( 1 Kings 5:10 ) . The algum trees are the same with the almug trees, ( 1 Kings 10:11 1 Kings 10:12 ) by a transposition of letters; these could not be coral, as some Jewish writers think, which grows in the sea, for these were in Lebanon; nor Brazil, as Kimchi, so called from a place of this name, which at this time was not known; though there were trees of almug afterwards brought from Ophir in India, as appears from the above quoted place, as well as from Arabia; and it seems, as Beckius


FOOTNOTES:

F3 observes, to be an Arabic word, by the article "al" prefixed to it:

for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon;
better than his:

and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants;
to help and assist them in what they can, and to learn of them, see ( 1 Kings 5:6 ) .


F3 In Targum in loc.

2 Crónicas 2:8 In-Context

6 Pero, ¿cómo edificarle un templo, si ni los cielos más altos pueden contenerlo? ¿Y quién soy yo para construirle un templo, aunque solo sea para quemar incienso para él?
7 »Envíame un experto para trabajar el oro y la plata, el bronce y el hierro, el carmesí, la escarlata y la púrpura, y que sepa hacer grabados, para que trabaje junto con los expertos que yo tengo en Judá y en Jerusalén, los cuales contrató mi padre David.
8 »Envíame también del Líbano madera de cedro, de ciprés y de sándalo, pues yo sé que tus obreros son expertos en cortar estos árboles. Mis obreros trabajarán con los tuyos
9 para prepararme mucha madera, porque el templo que voy a edificar será grande y maravilloso.
10 A tus siervos que corten la madera les daré veinte mil cargas de trigo, veinte mil cargas de cebada, veinte mil medidas de vino, y veinte mil medidas de aceite».
