Commentary on 2 Chronicles 5:9

Theological / Devotional

Drew out the staves. See on 1 Kings 8:8.

Unto this day. If the entire book of Chronicles was compiled after the Exile (see Introduction to Chronicles, pp. 115–117), the compiler here preserves a statement written before the destruction of the Temple (2 Kings 24:13 ; 25:9, 13–17) and the secreting of the ark in a cave.
