VERSE 2
- Then Solomon.
This seems to have taken place a short time after David's
decease, and, according to some, in the second year of
Solomon's reign; when being established in his kingdom, he
convened his chief men, and spake to them concerning the
solemn sacrifice which he purposed to offer to God.
- to the captains.
* 2Ch 29:20; 30:2; 34:29,30 1Ch 13:1; 15:3; 27:1; 28:1; 29:1

The tabernacle and the brazen altar still remained at Gibeon;
but David had brought away the ark out of the tabernacle, and
placed it in a tent at Jerusalem.
* 2Sa 6:2,17 1Ch 13:5,6; 15:1,25-28
- for he had pitched.

- go out.
* Nu 27:17 De 31:2 2Sa 5:2
- for who can.
* 2Co 2:16; 3:5
VERSE 11
- Because.
This does not occur in Kings: and it implies that the request
of Solomon, as arising from a spiritual judgment and heart,
was peculiarly acceptable to that God who searches, regards,
and demands the heart. God promised Solomon all the things
which he had not asked, except the life of his enemies; for he
was to be a peaceable king, a type of the Prince of peace.
- this was.

- made. Heb. gave. sycamore trees.
* 2Ch 9:27 Isa 9:10 Am 7:14
VERSE 16
- Solomon. Heb. the going forth of the horses which was
Solomon's.
* 2Ch 9:28 1Ki 10:28,29
- linen yarn.
The word [miqvˆ <\\S#4723\\>,] or [miqvˆh <\\S#4723\\>,]
{mikweh,} is regarded by the ancient translators as a proper
name: the LXX. have [ ,] "from Tekoa," the Vulgate,
{de Coa,} "from Koa," which is adopted by Dr. Geddes; the
Syriac, "from the city Aphelia;" and the Arabic, "{ex urbe
Australium.}" Bochart thinks it signifies a tribute; others
suppose that it signifies a string or drove of horses, or as
Jarchi says, what the Germans call {Gtutte,} a stud; but
Houbigant supposes it to be a corruption for {mercavah,}
"chariots." Our English translation, however, which regards it
as synonymous with {tikwah,} seems by far the best. According
to Norden, linen yarn is still one of the principal articles
of commerce in Egypt, and is exported in very large
quantities, together with unmanufactured flax and spun cotton;
and Sanutus, 400 years ago, remarked that though Christian
countries abounded in flax, yet the goodness of the Egyptian
was such, that it was dispersed even to the west.
VERSE 17
- the kings.
* 2Ki 10:29
- means. Heb. hand.
