2 Chronicles 6:1,2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

In the opening of this chapter, I beg to refer the Reader to the history, as we have it almost literally the same, 1 Kings 8:1. Reader! what a blessed dispensation are we brought under! Jesus sweetly visits his people, and manifests his presence, not in clouds and darkness, but under the enlightening influences of his Holy Spirit. Oh! what a blessed thought! our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you, saith our precious Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:19; John 14:17.

2 Chronicles 6:1-2

1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
