2 Chronicles 5:6

Assembled. — (Nô‘ad, to meet at an appointed time and place, Exodus 25:22). Not the same word as in 2 Chronicles 5:2 (qâhal), of which the root meaning is probably to call together.

Before the ark. — By the omission of a single Hebrew word [’ittô] before this phrase, the whole form of the sentence is altered from that of Kings. There we read “(were) with him before the Ark sacrificing,” &c.

Sacrificed. — Were sacrificing.

And the priests... — The verse is wholly identical with 1 Kings 8:6 (see Notes there).
