What Does 2 Chronicles 2:9 Mean?
Solomon explains the scale of his request. He needs timber in abundance because the house will be wonderfully great, beyond ordinary measure. Nothing about this building is to be small or sparing.
Generosity marks the way Solomon gives to God. He plans not for the minimum but for abundance, holding nothing back from the house of the LORD. When we serve God, a grudging or calculating spirit falls short of his worth; the heart that loves him plans lavishly, knowing that he himself gives without measure.
