2 Chronicles 2:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The house which I build is great Though the temple, strictly so called, was small, yet the buildings belonging to it were large and numerous. For great is our God above all gods Above all idols, above all princes. Idols are nothing, princes are little, and both are under the control of the God of Israel. Therefore the house must be great; not indeed in proportion to the greatness of that God to whom it is to be dedicated, for between finite and infinite there can be no proportion; but in some proportion to the exalted conceptions we have of him, and the great esteem we have for him.
