2 Chronicles 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 2:3

And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre
The same with Hiram, ( 1 Kings 5:1 ) and from whence it appears, that Huram first sent a letter to Solomon to congratulate him on his accession to the throne, which is not taken notice of here:

as thou didst deal with my father, and didst send him cedars to
build him an house to dwell therein;
see ( 1 Chronicles 14:1 ) , even so deal with me; which words are a supplement.

2 Chronicles 2:3 In-Context

1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.

2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

3 Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As you did deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, [even so deal with me].

4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is [an ordinance] forever to Israel.

5 The house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods.
