Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Huram said moreover.--And Huram said, that is, in his letter to Solomon.Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth.--In 1Kings 5:7 we read simply, "Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people." The chronicler has perhaps modified the words of his source in a monotheistic sense; although it is quite possible that Jeaovah was known to the polytheist Phoenician by the title of "Maker of heaven and earth." (Comp. Genesis 14:19.) An inscription of the Persian emperor Xerxes speaks of the Supreme in terms which resemble what Solomon says in 2Chronicles 2:5, as well as Huram's language here: "The great god Ahuramazda, great one of the gods, who made this earth, who made these heavens" (inscription on rocks at Elvend).An house for his kingdom.--A royal palace (2Chronicles 7:11; 2Chronicles 8:1). . . .
