What Does 2 Chronicles 5:1 Mean?
The long account of building the temple comes to rest in a single word: finished. Solomon then brings in the treasures David had dedicated years before, so that the father who longed to build and the son who built are joined in one completed work.
What David vowed in hope, Solomon now lays up in the house of God. The labor of one generation is not lost; it is gathered into the next. So God carries his purposes across time, and the offering of a faithful heart is never wasted, though the giver does not live to see the day it is fulfilled.
2 Chronicles 5:1 in the Original Language
