THE LORD’S RESPONSE TO THE PRAYER OF SOLOMON
(2 Chronicles 7:11-22. Comp. 1 Kings 9:1-9).
The substance and, for the most part, the language of both passages are the same, but the chronicler paraphrases occasionally, and has added a considerable section not extant in Kings (2 Chronicles 7:13-16).
(11) All that came into Solomon’s heart to make. — A paraphrase of all the desire (Isaiah 21:4; 2 Chronicles 8:6) of Solomon that he willed to do. The rest of the verse is wanting in Kings.
