Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 2:3-6

_ _ 2 Chronicles 2:3-10. Message to Huram for skillful artificers.

_ _ Solomon sent to Huram — The correspondence was probably conducted on both sides in writing (2 Chronicles 2:11; also see on 1 Kings 5:8).

_ _ As thou didst deal with David my father — This would seem decisive of the question whether the Huram then reigning in Tyre was David’s friend (see on 1 Kings 5:1-6). In opening the business, Solomon grounded his request for Tyrian aid on two reasons: 1. The temple he proposed to build must be a solid and permanent building because the worship was to be continued in perpetuity; and therefore the building materials must be of the most durable quality. 2. It must be a magnificent structure because it was to be dedicated to the God who was greater than all gods; and, therefore, as it might seem a presumptuous idea to erect an edifice for a Being “whom the heaven and the heaven of heavens do not contain,” it was explained that Solomon’s object was not to build a house for Him to dwell in, but a temple in which His worshippers might offer sacrifices to His honor. No language could be more humble and appropriate than this. The pious strain of sentiment was such as became a king of Israel.
