John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 4. But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim , etc.] (see 2 Samuel 6:2,17).
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 _________________________________________________
