SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:1
¶ Y Salomón hijo de David fue confirmado en su reino; y el SEÑOR su Dios fue con él, y le magnificó grandemente.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 1:1
Verse 1. And Solomon the son of David] The very beginning of this book shows that it is a continuation of the preceding, and should not be thus formally separated from it. See the preface to the first book. The Lord his God was with him] "The WORD of the Lord was his support." -Targum.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom , etc.] Well settled and established on the throne of his father, after the death of some persons, from whom he might expect trouble, (see 1 Kings 2:46) and the Lord God was with him ; directing and instructing him, prospering and succeeding him: the Targum is, ``the Word of the Lord was his help:” and magnified him exceedingly; (see 1 Chronicles 29:25).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Solomon's message to Huram respecting the temple, His treaty with Huram. --Solomon informs Huram of the particular services to be performed in the temple. The mysteries of the true religion, unlike those of the Gentile superstitions, sought not concealment. Solomon endeavoured to possess Huram with great and high thoughts of the God of Israel. We should not be afraid or ashamed to embrace every opportunity to spea of God, and to impress others with a deep sense of the importance of his favour and service. Now that the people of Israel kept close to the law and worship of God, the neighbouring nations were willing to be taught by them in the true religion, as the Israelites had been willin in the days of their apostacy, to be infected with the idolatries an superstitions of their neighbours. A wise and pious king is an evidenc of the Lord's special love for his people. How great then was God' love to his believing people, in giving his only-begotten Son to be their Prince and their Saviour __________________________________________________________________
