2 Chronicles 3:2 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

In the second day of the second month. — Heb., in the second month in the second. The versions omit the repetition, which is probably a scribe’s error. “On the second day” would be expressed in Hebrew differently. Read simply, “And he began to build in the second month,” i.e., in Zif (or April — May). See 1 Kings 6:1.

2 Chronicles 3:2

2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
