2 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 2 Chronicles 2:3 Solomon’s letter to Hiram, king of Tyre (who had earlier assisted David; 1 Chronicles 14:1), is considerably expanded from 1 Kings 5:3. This letter describes the purpose of the temple for worship according to the Law of Moses, it expresses the supremacy of Israel’s God (2 Chronicles 2:5), and it requests a skilled craftsman (v. 2 Chronicles 2:7) and different kinds of timber (v. 2 Chronicles 2:8).
