Solomon, the son of David, was tasked with building the Temple, a project that took seven years to complete ( 1 Kings 6:38). The Temple was to be the permanent dwelling place for the Ark of the Covenant and the center of worship for the Israelites. This completion signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to David that his son would build a house for the Lord ( 2 Samuel 7:12-13). The Temple's completion also represents a shift from the mobile Tabernacle used during the wilderness wanderings to a permanent structure, symbolizing stability and God's enduring presence among His people. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated— David, although not permitted by God to build the Temple himself due to his history as a warrior (1 Chronicles 28:3), had prepared extensively for its construction. He gathered materials and dedicated items for the Temple, showing his devotion and foresight (1 Chronicles 22:14-16). These items included precious metals and other resources necessary for the Temple's adornment and function. This act of bringing in the dedicated items signifies the continuity of David's vision and Solomon's role in bringing it to fruition, highlighting the importance of generational faithfulness and preparation in fulfilling God's plans. the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings— The mention of silver and gold underscores the wealth and splendor of the Temple, reflecting the glory and majesty of God. These materials were used extensively in the construction and decoration of the Temple, as described in1 Kings 6 and 7. The furnishings included the altar, the table for the showbread, the lampstands, and other items necessary for worship and sacrifices. The use of such precious materials also points to the value and importance of worship in the life of Israel, as well as the reverence due to God. This opulence can be seen as a type of the heavenly reality, where God's presence is surrounded by glory and majesty (Revelation 21:18-21). and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God. The treasuries of the Temple served as storage for the wealth and offerings dedicated to God. These treasuries were essential for the maintenance of the Temple and the support of the priests and Levites who served there. The act of placing these items in the treasuries signifies the dedication of resources for God's purposes and the proper stewardship of what has been given to Him. This also reflects the principle of giving God the first and best of what we have, as seen in the practice of tithing and offerings throughout Scripture (Proverbs 3:9-10). The treasuries can also be seen as a type of the spiritual treasures believers are to store up in heaven, as Jesus taught inMatthew 6:19-21. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicatedSolomon honors a previous generation’s faithfulness, linking past worship to present glory. • David set these treasures apart after victories (2 Samuel 8:11; 1 Chron 18:11), demonstrating that triumphs are meant to serve God’s house, not personal pride. • Passing the baton teaches stewardship; what one generation consecrates, the next must complete (Psalm 145:4;2 Timothy 1:5). • Dedication underscores that victory spoils belong to the Lord, protecting hearts from greed (Proverbs 3:9). the silver, the gold, and all the furnishingsNothing is too costly or too common when devoted to God. • David’s meticulous stockpile—“three thousand talents of gold… seven thousand talents of refined silver” (1 Chron 29:2–5)—now finds its place. • Material excellence in worship prefigures the spiritual excellence God seeks today (1 Peter 2:5;Romans 12:1). • The diversity of items—basins, censers, trumpets—highlights that every gift has a role (1 Corinthians 12:4–7). and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of GodProper storage safeguards what is sacred and provides resources for future ministry. • These treasuries later fund repairs (2 Chron 24:4–12) and temple reforms (2 Chron 31:11–12). Good stewardship today prepares for tomorrow’s needs (Proverbs 21:20). • Malachi will call Israel back to faithful giving into these storehouses (Malachi 3:10), reminding each generation to keep God’s house supplied. • Jesus redirects hearts to an even higher storehouse: “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20), linking material generosity to eternal reward. summary2 Chronicles 5:1 marks the joyful completion of Solomon’s temple and the faithful transfer of David’s dedicated treasures into God’s treasuries. It celebrates perseverance in God-given tasks, honors generational stewardship, showcases the value of wholehearted giving, and affirms wise management of sacred resources—all pointing to a life that finishes well, honors the past, serves the present, and invests for eternity. V. (1)Thus.--And. This verse is identical with1Kings 7:51. (The chronicler has made three slight corrections of the older text.) Brought in all the things . . . dedicated.--Brought in the holy (orhallowed) things of David his father. (Comp.1Chronicles 18:11;1Chronicles 26:26-28.) The implements.--Or,vessels. The wordall is omitted by some MSS., and by the LXX., Syriac, and Arabic. "The holy things of David" are identical with "the silver and the gold and the vessels." THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE (2Chronicles 5:2 to2Chronicles 7:22). . . . Verse 1. - The things that David... had dedicated; literally, Hebrew, the holy things; i.e. the dedicate or set apart things of David. The temple-building, which had been commenced in Solomon's fourth year, had occupied seven years in construction ( 1 Kings 6:1), but another thirteen years in furnishing ( 1 Kings 9:1, 2). The record of Chronicles is, of course, in some respects somewhat more sketchy than that of Kings; and the correct view of the chronology has in both writers to be sought and read between the lines. It was when the house and "all the work designed for the house of the Lord was finished," that (ver. 2) "Solomon assembled the elders," etc., and arranged for the solemn dedication; that is, when four years of his reign, and seven years of building and thirteen years of furnishing, etc., had elapsed.
