LESSON 15: SOLOMON’S KINGDOM, THE TEMPLE AND ITS FURNISHING (2 CHR. 1-4)

First and Second Chronicles were considered as one book in the Hebrew canon. 2 Chronicles, chapter 1 concerns itself with the reign of Solomon, a very proper sequel to 1 Chronicles, chapter 29. 2 Chronicles 1:1 repeats 1 Chronicles 29:25. “Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly.” In the transfer of authority from David to Solomon, the young king had every advantage which would promise a highly successful reign.[1]

LESSON 14: DAVID’S MILITARY ORGANIZATION, HIS COUNSELORS, HIS CHARGE TO SOLOMON, AND HIS DEATH (1 CHR. 27-29)

David’s consuming interest late in his life was the Temple. Having furnished Solomon with the pattern, David prayed for his people and set Solomon on the throne.[1]

There are two records of David's charge to Solomon, and Solomon's being made king. The reason there are two records is this: Adonijah, a son of David, sought to usurp the throne from Solomon (1 Kings 1:17-18). David was informed of this by Bathsheba and Nathan the prophet (1 Kings 1:11-27). Then David swore unto Bathsheba, "Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day" (1 Kings 1:30).[2]
