Commentary on 2 Chronicles 2:5

Theological / Devotional

Is great. The Temple itself was not to be great in physical dimensions, but it was to be a structure of matchless beauty and unrivaled splendor, bedecked with precious stones, adorned with burnished gold, and fitly representing the surpassing beauty of holiness that characterizes God and all things connected with Him.

Above all gods. Compare Ex. 18:11; Deut. 10:17; Ps. 77:13 ; 95:3; 135:5.
