2 Chronicles 8 · Grade 5
Faithful to the End
Read and Think
Chapter 8 summarizes Solomon's building after the temple. He strengthened the kingdom with cities, storage towns, and chariot cities, reaching from Hamath to the wilderness. The kingdom was secure and prosperous, as God had promised in chapter 1.
The Chronicler cares most about worship. Solomon offered sacrifices according to the commandment of Moses on every appointed day. He set the priests, Levites, and doorkeepers in order according to David's command, and they did not turn aside in any matter.
Then comes the verdict: all the work of Solomon was accomplished, and Yahweh's house was completed. The building and the worship were both done as God commanded. In the New Testament, Jesus says to the Father, I glorified you on the earth; I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do (John 17:4).
