What Does 2 Chronicles 3:6 Mean?
Beyond the gold, the house is set with precious stones purely for beauty, and the finest gold, from Parvaim, is used. The Chronicler lingers on splendor that serves no function except glory.
Some beauty exists simply because God is worthy of it. The costliness is a form of love poured out, like the ointment later broken over Christ. The house teaches that devotion need not always be useful to be right; sometimes the highest worship is lavish, unhurried adoration of the One who deserves our best.
