Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

Solomon here continues to appear great both at home and abroad. We had this account of his grandeur, 1Ki 10:1-29 Nothing is here added; but his defection towards his latter end, which we have there (1Ki 11:1-43), is here omitted, and the close of this chapter brings him to the grave with an unstained reputation. Perhaps none of the chapters in the Chronicles agree so much with a chapter in the Kings as this does with 1Ki 10:1-29 verse for verse, only that the 1Ki 10:1,2, 2Ch 9:1 are put into one here, and 2Ch 9:25, 1Ki 4:26 here is taken from 1Ki 4:26, 2Ch 9:25, and the 2Ch 9:29-31, 1Ki 11:41-43 here from 1Ki 11:41-43, 2Ch 9:29-31. Here is, I. The honour which the queen of Sheba did to Solomon, in the visit she made him to hear his wisdom, 2Ch 9:1-12. II. Many instances given of the riches and splendour of Solomon's court, 2Ch 9:13-28. III. The conclusion of his reign, 2Ch 9:29-31.

His navigation to Tarshish, and the commodities brought thence, 2 Chronicles 9:21. His magnificence and political connections, 2 Chronicles 9:22-28. The writers of his life, 2 Chronicles 9:29. He reigns forty years, and is succeeded by his son Rehoboam, 2 Chronicles 9:30, 2 Chronicles 9:31.

Translated Open passage

INTRODUCTION TO 2 Chronicles 9

The ninth chapter is the same with 1 Kings 10:1 excepting 2 Chronicles 9:26, which agrees with 1 Kings 4:21, the same with 1 Kings 11:41, only in 2 Chronicles 9:29 it is more largely expressed that the acts of Solomon's reign were written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nebat; or rather "concerning Jeroboam", as the Septuagint and some other versions (b), in which Iddo is called Joel; and by Theodoret said to be the same that prophesied of Jeroboam and his altar, See Gill on 1 Kings 13:1; the books mentioned are since lost. (b) Sept. de, Junius & Tremellias, Piscator.

2Ch 9:1-12.

Translated Open passage

2Ch 9:1-12.

THE QUEEN OF SHEBA VISITS SOLOMON; SHE ADMIRES HIS WISDOM AND MAGNIFICENCE.

1-4. when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon--(See on

1Ki 10:1-13).

It is said that among the things in Jerusalem which drew forth the admiration of Solomon's royal visitor was "his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord." This was the arched viaduct that crossed the valley from Mount Zion to the opposite hill. In the commentary on the passage quoted above, allusion was made to the recent discovery of its remains. Here we give a full account of what, for boldness of conceptions for structure and magnificence, was one of the greatest wonders in Jerusalem. "During our first visit to the southwest corner of the area of the mosque, we observed several of the large stones jutting out from the western wall, which at first seemed to be the effect of a bursting of the wall from some mighty shock or earthquake. We paid little regard to this at the moment; but on mentioning the fact not long after to a circle of our friends, the remark was incidentally dropped that the stones had the appearance of having once belonged to a large arch. At this remark, a train of thought flashed across my mind, which I hardly dared to follow out until I had again repaired to the spot, in order to satisfy myself with my own eyes as to the truth or falsehood of the suggestion. I found it even so. The courses of these immense stones occupy their original position; their external surface is hewn to a regular curve; and, being fitted one upon another, they form the commencement or foot of an immense arch which once sprung out from this western wall in a direction towards Mount Zion, across the Tyropœon valley. This arch could only have belonged to the bridge, which, according to JOSEPHUS, led from this part of the temple to the Xystus (covered colonnade) on Zion; and it proves incontestably the antiquity of that portion from which it springs" [ROBINSON]. The distance from this point to the steep rock of Zion ROBINSON calculates to be about three hundred and fifty feet, the probable length of this ancient viaduct. Another writer adds, that "the arch of this bridge, if its curve be calculated with an approximation to the truth, would measure sixty feet, and must have been one of five sustaining the viaduct (allowing for the abutments on either side), and that the piers supporting the center arch of this bridge must have been of great altitude--not less, perhaps, than one hundred and thirty feet. The whole structure, when seen from the southern extremity of the Tyropœon, must have had an aspect of grandeur, especially as connected with the lofty and sumptuous edifices of the temple, and of Zion to the right and to the left" [ISAAC TAYLOR'S EDITION OF TRAILL'S JOSEPHUS].

The narrative here is parallel with that in marginal reference, from which it varies but little, and to which it adds nothing.
