The first part of the celebration was the transfer of the ark from Mount Zion to the temple ( Ch2 5:2-14), and in connection with this we have the words in which Solomon celebrates the entry of the Lord into the new temple ( Ch2 6:1-11). This section has been already commented on in the remarks on 1 Kings 8:1-21, and we have here, consequently, only to set down briefly those discrepancies between our account and that other, which have any influence upon the meaning. - In Ch2 5:3 the name of the month, האתנים בּירח ( Kg1 8:2), with which the supplementary clause, "that is the seventh month," is there connected, is omitted, so that we must either change החדשׁ into בּחרשׁ, or supply the name of the month; for the festival is not the seventh month, but was held in that month. 2 Chronicles 5:4
