Commentary
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:5
Theological / DevotionalThe brasen altar. See Ex. 27:1–8 for the directions given concerning the making of the brazen altar, and Ex. 38:1–7 for an account of the making of the altar.
Bezaleel. See Ex. 31:2; 35:30. For his genealogy see 1 Chron. 2:3–20. He descended from Judah through Hezron, Caleb, and Hur (1 Chron. 2:3–5, 18–20).
He put. Heb. sam. A number of Hebrew manuscripts read sham, an adverb meaning “there.” If this reading is adopted the clause becomes, “was there before the tabernacle.” The LXX agrees.
Sought unto it. This may also be translated, “sought unto him.” In the Hebrew the antecedent of “it” may be either “altar” or “Lord.” The LXX supports the reading of the KJV.
