Commentary on 2 Chronicles 4:1

Theological / Devotional

Moreover he made. Chapter 4 deals with the furniture, vessels, and utensils of the Temple.

Altar of brass. The construction of the brazen (or bronze) altar of burnt offering is not mentioned in the parallel record of 1 Kings 6 and 7, but is incidentally referred to in 1 Kings 8:64; 9:25. That the altar was located in the court before the Temple is clear from 2 Chron. 6:12 and 2 Kings 16:14. The brazen altar in the Temple described by Ezekiel rose in a number of steps or terraces (Eze. 43:13–17).
