The first thirty-nine verses repeat 1 Kings 8:12-50 , with one or two complementary items, 1 Kings 8:51-61 being omitted, and three verses added." image: "/images/missing.jpg" url: "https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/2-chronicles/6" --- **said.** The first thirty-nine verses repeat [1 Kings 8:12-50](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/12-50) , with one or two complementary items, [1 Kings 8:51-61](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/51-61) being omitted, and three verses added. **The LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **congregation** = assembly, muster, or convocation. **God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . **hands.** Some codices *write* "hand", but *read* "hands" (plural) **neither chose I.** This true of Saul. God did not choose him as He chose David; though He overruled the choice of the People. Compare [1 Samuel 8:5](../../../kjv/1-samuel/8/5) . **it was in the heart.** Compare [2 Samuel 7:2](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/2) , 2Sa 7:3 ; [1 Chronicles 28:2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/28/2) . **as** = according as. **children** = sons. **stood.** And then knelt down. See [2 Chronicles 6:13](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/13) . No discrepancy, as alleged. **had made.** This also is complementary to [1 Kings 8](../../../kjv/1-kings/8) . **scaffold:** or platform (round, and bowl-like, like a Pulpit). Hebrew same word as rendered laver. **cubits.** See App-51 . **mercy** = lovingkindness, or grace. **to sit** = sitting. **yet so** = if only. Same condition as [2 Samuel 7:14](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/14) . Conditional to Solomon, but unconditional to David, as the Land was to Abraham ([Genesis 15](../../../kjv/genesis/15) ). Therefore the throne must, and will yet be, filled by David's son and David's Lord. **as** = according as. **verified.** Some codices, with one early printed edition, Septuagint, and Syriac, read "I beseech Thee". **men.** Hebrew. *'adam* (with Art. = mankind). App-14 . **behold.** Figure of speech *Asterismos.* App-6 . **heaven . . . heaven . . . heavens.** Figure of speech *Polyptoton* ( App-6 ), for emphasis. **how much less.** Compare [Acts 7:48-50](../../../kjv/acts/7/48-50) . **upon** = toward. **Sin.** Hebrew. *chata'.* App-44 . **and an oath be laid upon** = and he [his neighbour] lay an oath upon ([Exodus 22:7-11](../../../kjv/exodus/22/7-11) .[Leviticus 5:1](../../../kjv/leviticus/5/1) .[Proverbs 29:4](../../../kjv/proverbs/29/4) .[Hebrews 6:16](../../../kjv/hebrews/6/16); [Hebrews 6:16](../../../kjv/hebrews/6/16) ). **wicked** = lawless. Hebrew. *rasha'.* App-44 . **justifying** = acquitting. **good:** i.e. hast directed them into the good way (compare [Genesis 46:28](../../../kjv/genesis/46/28) ). **enemies.** Septuagint reads "enemy", as in [1 Kings 8:37](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/37) . **children** = sons. **in the land.** Hebrew "upon the face of the land". Figures of speech *Pleonasm* and *Prosopopoeia.* App-6 . **in** = toward, as in [2 Chronicles 6:20](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/20) . **peopled** = Peoples. **called by:** or invoked upon. **maintain:** or vindicate. **for there is, &c.** Figure of speech *Paroemia* (by way of *P* arenthesi *s)* . **wickedly** = lawlessly. Hebrew. *rasha'.* **soul.** Hebrew. *nephesh.* App-13 . **arise.** The following words are found in [Psalms 68:1](../../../kjv/psalms/68/1) ; [Psalms 132:8](../../../kjv/psalms/132/8) , [Psalms 132:9](../../../kjv/psalms/132/9) , by which Solomon connects his own work with David's. **saints** = gracious ones. Hebrew "men of grace": i.e. those who are the subjects of Jehovah's saving grace. **goodness** = prosperity, well-being, blessedness. **Thine Anointed.** Hebrew Messiah. **the mercies of David.** Genitive of Relation ( App-17 ) = the mercies, or lovingkindnesses, shown and assured to David ([Psalms 89:49](../../../kjv/psalms/89/49) ). ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/2-chronicles/6#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 2 Chronicles 6"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/2-chronicles/6#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/2-chronicles/6","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 2 Chronicles 6","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/2-chronicles/6#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"said.
