Commentary on 2 Chronicles 3:7

Theological / Devotional

The house. The holy place. What is given here is a continuation of v. 5, the object being to explain how the entire chamber, including its beams, posts, walls, and doors, was entirely covered with gold (see 1 Kings 6:21, 22).

Cherubims. On these mural decorations see 1 Kings 6:29. The form “cherubims” is really incorrect, for “cherubim” is a transliteration of the Hebrew plural form and hence does not require the “s” to make a plural. The singular form is “cherub.”
